Search for books, CDs, DVDs, and scores using the library catalog. The library's collection includes academic titles, children's, graphic novels and comics, popular reading, and more.
Search Databases
The library offers numerous databases for a wide range of disciplines including biology, business, history, nursing, and many more. Databases include both abstracts and full text to academic journal articles, magazine articles, newspapers, government reports, trials, and many other types of content.
Find Full Text
Found a citation or abstract to an article you want? Try using our full text finder to see if the library has access to that journal. Full Text Finder searches all of the library's journals, magazines, and newspapers and shows you exactly what database they are in and what years are available.
Interlibrary Loan
When the library doesn't have what you're looking for, you can always use interlibrary loan. Books, DVDs, CDs, articles, and many other resources can be loaned from other libraries at no charge to you.
Course Reserves
Course reserves are a great way to access related materials for various courses and assignments. Instructors can use them to create electronic course packs for their students, and students can find all the required materials for their course in ones spot.
scite.ai
scite is an award-winning platform for discovering and evaluating scientific articles via Smart Citations. Smart Citations allow users to see how a publication has been cited by providing the context of the citation and a classification describing whether it provides supporting or contrasting evidence for the cited claim. Use your Morningside email when creating an account.
Zotero
Zotero is a free and open source citation manager. It is the only one that the HJF Learning Center supports at this time because of its versatility, robust features, and numerous supported styles. Zotero provides plugins for both MS Word, LibreOffice's Writer, and Google Docs allowing for direct searching and importing of source citations in the style of your choice. You can find out more about using Zotero and where to get it below.
