LIBRARY RESOURCES
While we don’t offer a physical library room or building, we are equipped with a huge selection of online resources and services through our consortium membership and subscriptions with the Library & Information Resources Network (LIRN). This is particularly helpful for online, distance learning as well as onsite students.
Virtual Library Subscription
We provide students with online library resources and services through our consortium membership and subscriptions with the Library & Information Resources Network (LIRN)(https://www.lirn.net/). We subscribe research databases from Gale, ProQuest, Skillsoft, and Statista to provide access to online books, as well as content from journals, magazines, dissertations, and news sources covering topics relevant to general education, English, language learning, psychology, communication and media, and more.
