Library Catalog

Use the Map It button to locate print books.
The library catalog has recently changed. Whereas before, it only searched for books and e-books held at CNU, now it also searches for journal articles from databases.

"Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research." https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/about.html

Interlibrary Loan

Request books and articles, not available at CNU, through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). There is no cost and for a significant research paper, this service may prove vital.
