Library Resources

Whether you are across campus or across the state, you have access to a great array of library resources and services to assist you in your research. For academic research, public libraries and community college libraries are quite limited compared to the wealth of materials available to you through the BVU Library.

Access all of BVU's library resources online at www.bvu.edu/library.

Catalog

Use the catalog to identify books, e-books, videos, CDs, DVDs, reference materials, curriculum materials, and journal subscriptions owned by the Library. You can request loans of circulating items through the easy-to-use ILLiad system.

Articles

The library provides access to over 50 subscription databases — some of a general nature and others subject-specific. Many databases provide not only citations to articles, but include the complete text of the articles themselves, which can be e-mailed, downloaded, or printed.

Journal Holdings

To identify journal, magazine, and newspaper titles that BVU makes available, either in print or electronically, click "Journals by Title" on the Library homepage.

Personal Support 

If you have questions or need research assistance, please contact us. It is our job to be the primary provider of your library services!
