In an effort to bring electronic information resources to as many New Mexicans as possible, the New Mexico State Library is providing databases of magazines and journals to libraries and patrons via the Internet.

The InfoTrac databases contain over 4,277 magazines and journals, 2,969 of them with full-text and full-image with the remainder offering abstracts to the articles. InfoTrac is a product of Gale Group, a major vendor of library magazine and journal subscriptions to libraries. Access to the databases is controlled through specific usernames and passwords which are established for constituent libraries and patrons throughout New Mexico. Each library is authorized to provide these usernames and passwords to its clients, students or patrons, thus giving access to any New Mexico citizen with Internet access. The Gale logon screen for NMSL Direct and Rural Services patrons is http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/nmlibdrsb (The password is: cactus) Copyright requirements are covered by the arrangements that the Gale Group makes with the journals and magazines it includes in the databases. *We ask that you mention you are a Books By Mail patron when contacting the following numbers.

Some delays in filling orders are unavoidable when a new catalog or supplement is sent out to several hundred households, so if a book is not available at the time of your request, it will be put on reserve and mailed to you when it becomes available. You will not need to reorder the book(s). Reordering the book(s) will only delay orders that much longer. We appreciate your patience. SPANISH BOOKS Books in Spanish are available for children and adults. Some editions are bilingual. LARGE PRINT BOOKS When ordering titles with the prefix “LP” (Large Print) please specify that you only want the titles in Large Print, otherwise, if the title is available in regular print, it will be substituted, and if it is not, we will send you the “LP” title. We hope this will minimize the waiting time on high demand titles and also save the Large Print for patrons who can only read Large Print, which is a smaller collection. Thank You.
