We have numerous resources to support your research and study. This guide will help you to navigate scholarly materials available at the library and on the web. It will discuss books, databases and websites related to your class. It will also help to evaluate materials and cite them properly. In addition, it will provide numerous links that will be useful for accomplishing your assignments. A list of required readings can be accessed by searching our online catalog for your course number, name or your professor's name. You can find books by searching the online catalog. Numerous journals including Competitions, also contain valuable information. You can locate articles related to your projects by searching Avery Index and other databases. While conducting research, you might need materials not owned by the NJIT Libraries - you can use Interlibrary Loan to borrow books or Document Delivery Service to request articles to be scanned and saved in PDF format, which will be delivered directly to you. In addition, you can use materials located in the Robert Van Houten Library, at Rutgers University Dana Library and at the Newark Public Library, or search Worldcat to locate more resources. There are also collections of e-books that can be accessed via the library website.

As always, contact library staff if you need further assistance.
