An intuitive, self-guided product that supports information literacy, writing, and research skills instruction occurring in today's libraries, classrooms, and online learning environments.
Whether you're a bookworm or just getting back into reading, literature is a great way to learn about new cultures, understand humanity, improve your writing and expand your horizons.
The Touro Library System has many of the great classics of literature and other books related to our curriculum. Browse the "P" section at your local branch to find great reading material.
For assistance with writing and citing sources, scroll down this page and look left for How-To Guides.
Databases are a great place to search for individual articles from newspapers, magazines, and academic journals.
While many news and magazine articles may also be found with an internet search engine, our subscription databases can provide you with access to older articles that are not available online and other pay-per-view materials, plus additional options to refine your search. As far as scholarly articles go, databases should be your first stop! Most scholarly literature is not freely available.
Get started quickly with the seach bar below, or check out some of our subject-specific recommendations. Be sure you've registered for off-campus access.
All of Touro's books and e-books can be found by searching the catalog (above, or click the Catalog icon on the library homepage).
Use the advanced search to limit your results by year, campus location, or search just e-books by selecting "TC E-Books" under Location. If a print book you'd like is at a different campus, learn how to request it.
