Welcome to Prof. Urban's LibGuide for Adelphi University Libraries.

Use this guide to locate resources for completing assignments or to locate reputable information.

• Find Articles & Databases: Locate databases and search for journal articles.
• Find Books & Chapters: Search the library's OneSearch discovery tool or eBook Central.
• AI & Tools: Find library-supported AI tools, and more.
• Access Elsewhere: Learn how to locate library subscriptions and purchases when you don't start at the library website.
• Evaluate Information: Discover criteria for evaluating sources of information.
• Write & Cite: Learn how to cite your sources.
• Interlibrary Borrowing: Request material from another library when AU does not have it.
• For Faculty: A section dedicated to faculty-specific questions and needs.

OneSearch is the default search box on the Libraries Homepage.

From https://www.adelphi.edu/libraries/, you can search a few different ways:

1. With OneSearch selected, simply type your search--this will search everything in the library collection. After clicking search, you can narrow your results on the following screen.
2. With Databases & More selected, search for databases by title or subject area.
3. With Guides & Tutorials selected, search for library research guides, tutorials, and other materials to help students, faculty, and staff find and use library resources.
4. Or, instead of typing anything in the search box, click on Advanced Search to do a more guided OneSearch search.
