Library Resources

Reference Services - Professional reference librarians provide both individual assistance and group instruction to support student and faculty research and information needs, and to assist users in developing information literacy skills that will facilitate lifelong learning. They can provide answers to specific questions, advise and help with bibliographic sources, and consult with students on longer term projects. Reference librarians can also conduct classroom instructional sessions to course sections upon request.
Interlibrary Loan - Contact reference librarians at end@noblenet.org for access to book and journal articles beyond our collection.
LibGuides - Access our LibGuides site to view a variety of research tutorials and subject guides created by our reference librarians.

Databases - Periodical and research databases aggregate and enable access to hundreds of thousands of individual full-text journal articles across disciplines. Access under ‘Halle Library Resources’ on the library’s web page.
