For Students

Watch a short video introduction to the many resources and services offered by the Touro Libraries

Before diving into your first research project, make sure you're familiar with the following:

• Off-Campus Access - All electronic resources (databases, ebooks, streaming video) are available to Touro students and faculty from any computer. When off-campus, simply log in with your TouroOne credentials.
• QuickSearch - Combined search for all items from the catalog and databases, including ebooks, books, articles, and videos.
• eBooks - Search for eBooks only.
• Catalog - Search the physical collection of the libraries, such as print books, journals, and media.  
• Databases - Collections of articles from magazines, newspapers, and academic journals. Some cover many topics (multidisciplinary) while others are subject-specific. Some may also include eBooks or videos. 
  • Note: Many databases include citations and abstracts for articles with no full text. To see if the full article is available elsewhere, click on the Article Linker button or find out if you can get the full text for free through interlibrary loan (ILL).

• ProQuest Research Companion - PQRC is an online course designed to help you understand and complete academic-level research and writing. PQRC includes guidance on choosing a topic, finding information from appropriate materials, selecting evidence, attributing sources, and writing a research-based essay.  
• Library Homepage - The main point of entry for all library resources.
• Ask a Librarian! If you need more help.
