Faculty & Staff Research

FirstSearch

The Library subscribes to the FirstSearch database service to provide a broader array of databases for faculty and staff research needs.  Some of the databases provide access to the full text of the articles. FirstSearch indicates if our Library subscribes to the journal.  For those journals not in our collection and not available in full text, FirstSearch enables you to submit online Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests  from your desktop.  To request books via ILL select the WorldCat database.  Since the Library subscribes to FirstSearch on a per search and per full text article basis, please try the Library's other databases first.  

 
Research Gateway

This link connects you to the Library's other indexes and databases which are provided for faculty, staff and student use.

Student Library Orientations

The library has prepared library orientations for particular student groups such as nursing students and a variety of classes including English Composition II, Environmental Biology, Introduction to College Life, Introduction to Technology, Speech,  and Study Skills.  We would be glad to develop library orientations for other classes or groups.  When you request library orientations for your classes, provide as much notice as possible to enable us to update our presentations and verify our lists of internet resources. We would like to receive a copy of your assignments to help us tailor our orientation to your class. Please notify us whenever you schedule library time for a class to insure that there is not a conflict with another group. To request a library orientation  contact one of the librarians:
