- The SLU library collection is 90% virtual, 10% physical. In other words, you can find ten times more scholarly information on the library website than on the library shelves.
- The library has 1 million books and ebooks and 120,000 online journals available for your research.
- You can search the whole library collection—digital and physical—using Discovery on the library website. Discovery is a good starting point for research on almost any topic. The library also has over 100 other research databases for advanced research on particular subjects.
- You can get in-depth, one-on-one research help from a research librarian. You can go to Research Help on the library website to schedule an appointment, or just come to ODY and ask for help on weekdays.
- You can also get help using technology at the IT Help Desk or with papers or presentations at the WORD Studio, both in ODY.
- If you find something cited in a research database that the library does not have, we can get it for you through Interlibrary Loan.
- The Archives and Special Collections in ODY contain thousands of rare books and documents on the history of the university and the North Country.
- You can access the library’s online resources from anywhere in the world. Just click on the link and enter your SLU username and password.
- Ready for a study break? You can find hundreds of recent bestsellers on the main floor of ODY, check out a green bike for the day, stream a classic film or documentary from the library website, or start your free online subscription to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or Washington Post.
- It is officially the Owen D. Young Library, but everybody calls it ODY.
