Writing / Research: Accessing Library Resources

Library Resources

You will find many helpful tools for research in the library. Use the below links to get started searching our library catalog, our databases, and our academic journals!

Quick Guide to Resources

Use Primo to do a basic search for just about anything: articles, books, conference proceedings, theses, and more.

Use the Journal Search tool to find a journal by its title or ISSN.

Use the Databases A-Z tool to go to a specific database. Searching within a database will give you a more focused search than using Primo but your results will be limited to resources within that specific database.

Each database is different and covers different resource types. To learn more about a database or find the right one for you, talk to a librarian.

Searching and Accessing Library Materials

As you begin your research to select your topic, you can use the library catalog to search for materials that are helpful to you. Below is a quick tutorial on searching the library catalog for academic books or articles.
