What do Research Engagement and Scholarship Librarians do?


Booth Library has a large collection of reference resources in print and online

Reference books, such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliographies, almanacs and statistical compendia are those materials that are consulted as sources of information or as guides to other resources. These works are great places to begin your research.

Our reference collection contains books on all subjects. Many are in print, and hundreds of reference E-books and online reference resources are available.

The library subscribes to 300+ online databases providing you with high quality and scholarly information in all subjects.

There are several computers available in the Reference room for use in accessing the library databases and any resources linked from the library web pages including the EIU Library Catalog to find books, E-books, CDs, DVDs, government documents, musical scores, and more.

If you are off campus, all library resources are available from any computer with an internet connection.
