Research & Resources

This page is your source for finding basic research materials (books, journal articles, eReserves) and for taking your research to the next level (subject guides and research skills).

How do I find...?

Books

Search the library catalog for books, DVDs, eBooks, videos, and more.

eBooks

Search specifically our collections of eBooks. Doing so gives you the larger number of results, rather than only searching eBooks that show up in the library catalog.

Research Databases

Search our collection of research databases, where you can find peer-reviewed, scholarly works for your research projects.

Course Reserves

Visit eReserves if your instructor has individual course readings uploaded to the library website.
