Databases

Journal, magazine and newspaper articles can be located using the databases.  The library subscribes to a variety of databases that cover a wide range of subjects.  In addition to the traditional databases, the library also subscribes to e-references that contain reports, encyclopedia articles, articles from other reference books, videos, maps, images, paintings, and standardized test preparation materials.

Need help?  Check out numerous video tutorials on searching in the databases.

Subject Guides

Covering everything from Biology to Western History, these subject guides pull together only the best resources for each specific course.  Take the guesswork out of research and find everything from the best books, to the best databases to search, to citation help for each one of your classes!

Tutorials

Need help with your research?  Consult these short tutorials, which are videos and self-paced modules, to help answer the most common questions about using the library's resources.
