Once on the library's home page, click on the green box labeled " Search Primo" to look for books, ebooks, and articles. To search in a specific database or to search subject-specific databases, click on the "Library Online Resources" tab on the right side of the page. Our databases are arranged according to subject.
We classify our collections using the Library of Congress Classification System, the standard for college and university libraries. It is similar to the Dewey Decimal System used at K-12 schools and public libraries in that it groups materials by subject, only Library of Congress uses letters and numbers to classify materials.
