The library is housed in the Library and Academic Research Center. The library contains our print collection of over 80,000 volumes, group and individual study rooms, study spaces, the Media and Gaming Lab, Archives and much more.  

The library has many resources available online that are accessible from anywhere. Our eBook collections contain more than 300,000 titles.  We also have over 100 databases that contain thousands of journals for all disciplines. All these online resources can be accessed through the library website. To gain access to these resources when not on campus, use the username and password that you would use for Canvas. 

If you need more information please contact us using any of the methods listed on the Getting Help tab. 

Why use Articles?

Articles, especially scholarly peer-reviewed articles, are excellent sources of information.  Here are some reasons why you might want to use articles:

  • Articles provide specific information about a topic.
  • Articles are published quicker than books, so they are good sources for current or popular topics.
  • Scholarly articles provide bibliographies or references that you can use to find other sources related to your topic.
  • Articles come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Some are popular and usually shorter and some are scholarly and are typically longer and more detailed.
