The Library Catalog http://library.ccu.edu/  offers title, author, subject, and other access to the collection.  The collection is enhanced by the ability to also borrow from other libraries via Interlibrary Borrowing. 

More than 20,000 full-text journal articles are available in our Academic Search/Business Source, ProQuest, Lexis-Nexis, and ATLA/SReligion online databases.  Choose the Library Web, then Journal Indexes and Full-Text Articles, or go straight to  /library/articles.asp. 

The Library has computers throughout and wireless access.  It also has small and large group study rooms and an education curriculum lab.  These rooms can be reserved at the Circulation Desk.  As a place of study, research, and cooperative learning, the Library aims to maintain a quiet atmosphere that is service-oriented and comfortable.  Food and covered drinks are permitted anywhere except at the computer terminals. 

The Library Web  at www.ccu.edu/library/ offers indexing databases (ERIC, PsycINFO, others), reference databases (Encyclopedia Britannica, CQ Researcher, Gale Reference E-books, etc.), Web resources, writing and citation guides, the Library, Information & Research Tutorial, and Subject Guides to Research. This information can be accessed via any computer (including wireless) at any time from your residence hall, home, or other location.  Passwords and authorizations for the Library-purchased databases are found  in the WOW welcome packet, at the Library Circulation Desk, and from the Library Web page itself.  You can also call the quick information number above.
