Library Services

Lavery Library provides print books, journals, newspapers, online databases of research articles, and audiovisual materials. In addition to these scholarly materials, a variety of DVDs, books, magazines, and games are provided for your leisure needs.

Libraries provide more than just resources. Librarians are available to answer research questions in person and via Zoom, through email, and over the phone. For in-depth research assistance, you may schedule an appointment with a librarian subject specialist.

We also have many other aids available to our patrons, including access to other libraries' collections. Click the sections below to find out about services we provide.
