Library and Information Services

Each week during the semester, a message is sent to the campus highlighting distinct collections that can be found in the library's online databases. These research resources contain journal articles, ebooks, primary sources, images, streaming video & audio, and more. Some weeks, the message highlights a single database; other weeks, the message highlights selected resources acknowledging a special event.

Here is a compilation of the library's online resources recognized during the Fall 2020 semester. Click on the more link for more detailed information on each database or collection.
