Search for books, articles, and more using the Multi-Search:
The Multi-Search tool is great for getting started with your research. Multi-search scours many, though not all, of our resources to bring you books, articles, and other sources. You can begin your Multi-Search search by typing your keywords in the search box below, but be sure to check out the subject specific databases (additional pages in the main menu) for more resources.

Looking for a Specific Article?
Periodical Finder
If you know the journal title that the article is published in you can use the Periodical Finder to locate specific articles. This is a useful tool if you don’t know the database where the article is located and if the Multi-Search does not bring it up for you. For more information please see the FAQ: How do I find a specific article?
Interlibrary Loan
If you cannot locate an article or book, please fill out an interlibrary loan request. For more information please see the FAQ: How do I request a book, book chapter, or article that the library does not own (place an interlibrary loan request)?
Google Scholar
It's true that you can find some high-quality, scholarly articles online. If you're going to search online for articles, make sure that you have set up Google Scholar to find electronic articles held by the Shapiro Library and to evaluate your sources thoroughly. Check out our Google Like a Librarian guide for search tips or ask a librarian (ask@snhu.libanswers.com) if you need more help.
