Alliant Library

The collections of the Alliant Library are represented in the University’s online library catalog and total over 100,000 physical volumes, 100 current print journal subscriptions, and 1,500 videos. The Alliant Library shares access to online resources, including 50+ research databases, full-text content from over 16,000 journals, and more than 70,000 e-books. Resources that are not available at one campus may be requested from other Alliant locations via the shared online catalog or from LINK+, a network of California and Nevada libraries, with over thirty million items.

In each Alliant library location, computers are available to access the Internet, electronic books and journals, and online research databases, such as PsycINFO, Lexis-Nexis, OCLC FirstSearch, Proquest Dissertations & Theses, Social Science Citation Index, Medline, ERIC, and Criminal Justice Periodical Index. Most of these online resources may also be accessed from home or office. The Alliant Library is also open to the public. Campus libraries also have study spaces available.

An accomplished staff of librarians and support personnel provide services across the University. Services include reference, bibliographic research consultation, information literacy instruction, interlibrary loan, document delivery, dissertation clearance, and course reserves. Librarians provide assistance in person, by phone, videoconference, and email.
