The Library provides access to many databases via the Web, or on CD-ROM, but this is only a fraction of the online databases available to researchers. Our databases have been selected primarily to meet the needs of students and may not always meet the research needs of faculty. Faculty may need to do research in a subject or time period not covered by any of our publicly available databases. Faculty can meet with library subject specialists to discuss their research needs. If it is determined that a database search is needed, it will be done at no charge to the faculty member.
Faculty can receive search results as a paper printout, on disc, or by e-mail.
The Library Catalog provides basic access to the Library's collection. You may connect to it remotely by following the instructions in the Connecting to the Library Catalog guide. The Library catalog lists all the books, periodicals, media, and some government documents owned by the library. Information screens on the system give descriptions of library hours, services, and remote logon instructions. There are multiple stations throughout all floors of the Library.
