Looking for specialized information within your discipline? Databases may be a more useful starting point. These powerful search tools provide access to books, e-books, scholarly and peer-reviewed articles, citation and abstract indexes, primary sources, images, statistics, and much more. 

Some are multi-disciplinary and well-suited for broadly exploring particular subjects, while others are highly specialized and best used for in-depth research. Our librarians can help you find the right database for your needs and assist you with search strategies and troubleshooting. 

Looking specifically for journal titles and articles? We provide electronic access to tens of thousands of journals and periodicals. Browse our journal collections by category, or search for a specific journal by title. 

You can also have journals delivered directly to your iOS or Android device with BrowZine or enjoy one-click access to available library resources even while searching outside the library's website with LibKey Nomad. 

Looking for university archives and other primary source materials we own? Use ExploreUK to search our extensive holdings of archival materials, primary sources, and other rare and unique items. 

Collection guides, which often contain an inventory list and detailed information about the collection, can help you determine if materials are relevant to your research.

Can't find what you need in our collections? We may be able to help you find it at another library through our Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services. To access ILL services, use your linkblue account information to sign in or create an ILLiad account.

If we can't borrow the materials you need from another institution, or you would like us to acquire a copy for our collection, you can Request a Purchase.
