Do Research

Alumni are welcome to visit our facilities, and while visiting can use our electronic databases, electronic books and make copies of our print journals and books. During our regular reference hours, we are happy to assist you in your research.

If you would like to do research from home, we have created a guide for doing research using free, online sources.
