Getting Started

from the Library home page:

Primo, our catalog, allows you to search across a large portion of the library's collections to explore topics, identify relevant databases, and evaluate the results, all within a single search experience. Results include books, journal articles, and more.
The Databases tab will help you to start looking for journal articles.
The Journals tab lists what journals and newspapers the library has access to. If you have found a citation and want to see if you can get to the full-text, use this tab to search for the journal title.(not the article title)

To find books in the Schaffer Library use the library catalog (Primo)

If you cannot find a book title in our catalog, or if the book that you need is checked out, you can borrow books from other libraries (for free!) using interlibrary loan (Illiad).

Books related to art in our collection will be in the N through NX subject headings in the basement of the library
