Need help finding the right source? Don't know where to start? The librarians at Ryan Library have created a series of Research Guides for each PLNU academic department/school.
In each guide you will find useful links and resources for your general and specific research needs.
Under the Library Resources tab above, you'll find subpages for specific resources. Access them using the tab subheadings or click below for what you need:
For specialized or complex research projects, we encourage you to meet with your department's liaison librarian to discuss the resources available to you. Whether the challenges you face concern locating specific resources, learning to use databases or other tools that are new to you, or requesting materials from other libraries, the PLNU librarians are pleased to support faculty scholarship. Please see the list below to identify your department's liaison.
If for any reason your library liaison is not available, any PLNU Librarian will be happy to be of assistance.
