New to Researching in a University Library?
Watch the "Library Research 101" video by FAU Librarian Lawrence Mello to get basic information, tips, and tricks.
To request books or journal articles from other libraries, use Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Loan time may take 7 to 10 days, so don’t wait until the last minute!
Through a statewide initiative in coordination with FALSC and other institutions of the Florida College System and State University System libraries, the FAU Libraries is transitioning e-resources authentication from EZproxy to OpenAthens.
OpenAthens is a gateway service that provides access to the FAU Libraries' licensed electronic resources. For the first time, you will have access to the Libraries’ e-resources without needing to be on the Libraries’ website! You can use an Internet search engine like Google or go directly to a publisher’s website to access the Libraries “Athenized” e-resources via FAU Single Sign-On (SSO)!
Use UBorrow to directly request materials from participating libraries within Florida's state colleges and universities.
If you are not using the FAU databases, you need to consider some questions when evaluating information from the Internet:
