Gathering Resources
The following research tools will help you obtain books, journals, articles, and eBooks. The Library also provides resources to help with APA citation. Whatever your research need, we have resources to help you get started.
I’m Really Good At… (pdf)
Before you start your next project look over our I’m Really Good At… flyer to help you identify what’s going right, and what you might need help with.
Research Databases
We recommend graduate students use the Search Everything function on the Library homepage. If you prefer to search single databases, e.g., Academic Search Premier, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and ERIC, find links and suggestions on our dedicated Research Database Page.
Find Journals
If you have a citation and want to know if the Library has access to a particular journal, we recommend using the Find Journals tab on the Library homepage search box. Pay attention to the date range, e.g., 01/01/2007 – present. If you see Bank Street Print Holdings 01/01/1986 – present it means we have the journal in print.

Interlibrary Loan Requests
Requests through EBSCO Discovery Service are easy to make. Look for “Request this item through interlibrary loan” links on database pages. If you have checked our catalog and would still like to request an item from another institution, email Library Director Kristin Freda.
