Faculty: Digital Resources & Access

Digital Resource Highlights

In addition to the ebooks and journal articles that are accessible using the Scout search tool, we have many other resources to support instruction. Additional ebooks are available through ConnectNY to enhance our ebook collection.

Multiple streaming platforms are available, including Academic Video Online with almost 70,000 videos available with public performance rights included. JoVE is a peer-reviewed, scientific video journal that combines high-quality video demonstrations of experiments with detailed text protocols for the undergraduate level.

 Learn where to publish using Cabells, a resource for journal info, evaluation metrics, predatory reports, and submission details.

We are also now members of the HathiTrust.

Find a scholarly or peer-reviewed journal
