What does the library offer? 

The Library is a good place to study and do research, with spaces reserved for conversation and collaboration and other areas for quiet individual study.  You can also use study rooms for groups of two or more.

Technology:  Computers (with Microsoft Office), printers (color/B&W), and scanners.

Help:  Ask at the Reference Desk of the physical library or use “Ask a Librarian” page for help via the phone or Internet.

Authoritative Resources: 
In general, college research requires the use of authoritative sources.  Here are a few characteristics of authoritative sources:

• Written by authors with subject expertise, as demonstrated by educational background, awards, work experience, positions held, publications, etc.

• Articles published in respected journals, magazines or newspapers (respect is earned by minimizing editorial errors and by maintaining high standards of fact-checking, etc.)

• Books and ebooks published by publishers who have high standards in relation to author and editor expertise and background.

• Information provided by respected organizations which are usually run by experts of the disciplines related to the organizations.

The Library offers literally millions of sources for your research projects. In addition to our traditional books, you can remotely access our many databases and other licensed resources for newspapers, magazines, journals; research reports, hundreds of thousands of ebooks and more.
