Library DIY is an interactive tool designed to help students help themselves with common library problems and questions.
Navigating Young Library shows the services, collections, technology, and other amenities available on each floor of the library.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) provides you with articles and books that UK Libraries does not own. See Interlibrary Loan for information about what ILL is and how to request materials.
Has it been awhile since you've had to develop a research question and a search strategy? Not sure how to navigate UK Libraries' resources?
Consider enrolling in Online Information Literacy, a self-paced course in UK's Canvas which was co-developed by your librarian. The course takes around 40 minutes to complete.
We have also developed Open Academic Research, a self-guided course open to anyone and particularly aimed at budding researches and graduate students. There are a wide variety of self-paced modules to explore in any order, covering topics such as:
Discovering your field’s keywords, scholars, and journals
Specialized databases and reference sources in your field
Selecting journals to consider for submission
Incorporating digital media and technology tools into your research
Finding and using primary sources
Consider enrolling for free in one or both courses to review these research skills!
