We are delighted to welcome you as patrons of our library. We've put together a brief guide to let you know a few things that we hope will make your experience of our library smooth and enjoyable. If you have any questions please reach out to refdesk@quinnipiac.edu.
Two of the most popular ways to find articles and books are Google Scholar and Library OneSearch. The library also offers hundreds of research databases which will link to fulltext. Starting at the library web site will ensure access to full text. Google Scholar and OneSearch have additional steps needed to access fulltext.
