Research & Reference

If you can't make it into the library, that's no problem! Ask us a question online and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. If you have an immediate need, call us at 479-750-8180.

Don't forget your reference librarian when you need an information resource! We're here to do more than point you in the direction of a Dewey Decimal number. Our trained reference librarians are ready and willing to assist you in your research, whether you need help narrowing your search, locating online resources, finding resources outside of the library's collection, or looking up an article on microfilm. Visit the library and stop by the reference desk, call us at 479-750-8180, or submit our online form to ask a question anytime and anywhere there's a connection!

In addition to our physical collection, we are proud to offer a variety of online resources. No need to wait for these materials to be returned! You have access to them twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Our web resources are divided into the following categories:

Databases

Our databases are subscription services that provide a deeper informational search than the internet alone. These services are free to library card holders!

Web Resources

Our alphabetical list of recommended websites contains the online resources that our reference librarians use daily to help patrons find the information they need.

Web Resources and Library Databases by Category

Here you'll find both databases and websites classified by category. If you need information on a broad topic, this is a great place to start.
