Some of the articles I select appear too large or too small in the exhibit viewer, is there a way to see a clearer image?  

To see a clearer image, select the "Click here for Full-Text article" option in the description section of every article. In addition, you can follow these steps to bring up a full-window view:

• Select an image to open its page in the exhibit viewer
• Right-click the image to open a pull-down menu
• Select the "Open in New Tab" option
• Use the new window to view the image with greater clarity

Text still too small? Use the "Ctrl +" or "Ctrl -" keyboard functions to change the zoom of the window to better suit your needs.  

If you notice that a Full-Text article does not match its title or description, please use the Contact Us page to report it to WPL staff. Click here for more information.
