Libraries at each of the two main campuses serve as vital information centers and provide access to resources from all over the world. The library collections include printed books, electronic books, periodicals, DVDs, CDs, and other video and audio recordings carefully selected to support the curriculum and information needs of the community of learners.

Students can:

• Borrow textbooks and eTextbooks for their classes or books and eBooks for research or leisure reading

• Read magazines, journals, and newspapers in both print and online formats

• Study in the group study rooms or in the quiet study areas

• Borrow books from other libraries worldwide via Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

The library website provides access to reliable websites for research and other valuable resources such as the electronic article databases for articles in magazines, journals, newspapers and trade publications; and the online catalog.

During all hours the libraries are open, librarians are available to assist students with their research needs in person and via e-mail and instant messaging. To help students develop information competency, the library faculty at both campuses offer instruction in the form of courses, orientations, and workshops on a variety of topics.
