Help with UNIV 100 Research Topics: Click to See Recommended Sources
Welcome to the Regent Online Library!
Most of our library resources are online, and others can be mailed or scanned for you! Our librarians can also help you with research or any questions through chat, email, & appointments!
Start with the library's Primo search for articles & books. Be sure to log in!
Also try Google Scholar, which can be linked to Regent Library's academic articles.
In Primo, you have your own personal library account. You can save your favorites with the "thumbtack" icon, or get a citation for the source by clicking on the "quotation mark" icon.
Most sources are online, and print sources can be requested. If you see a print book you want from our library, click "Request Regent's Copy" or "Request PDF of Chapter." If you see a source in Primo that's owned by a partner library, click "Get it for me" or "Get digital copy."
Try the Databases Next: After you've tried our Primo search, explore our individual subject databases, full of articles, e-books, & films. Note that you can narrow the list of databases down by the subject you need at the top (such as education, divinity/religion, business, psychology, etc.).
Suggested Databases to Start With (in addition to Primo & Google Scholar):
