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 videos) are available to Touro students and faculty from any computer. When off-campus, 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 databases cover many topics (multidisciplinary) while others are subject-specific. Some may also include eBooks or videos. 
• Interlibrary Loan (ILL) - Many databases include citations and abstracts for articles without full text. To see if the full article is available elsewhere, click 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.  
• RefWorks - A citation management tool that helps you create, import, store, and share citations in APA, MLA, AMA, Chicago, and more.
• Library Homepage - The main point of entry for all library resources.
• Ask a Librarian! If you need more help just contact a librarian through email, Chat, or phone.
