Database of the Month
Check out our featured database to get the best information for your research!
International Open Access Week was Oct 20–26, 2025. The Open Access movement questions who should own high quality information and who should have access to it. See the resources we’ve curated by going to the Databases List and changing the dropdown from “All Databases Types” to “Open Access.”

Library Improvements
We are making a lot of improvements in the library, so you might find that things look a little messy for a while.
We also continue to perform maintenance on all Library systems. If you encounter a problem with any resources, sent a ticket to library@harrisburgu.libanswers.com.
