Website Overview
The library website homepage has three tabs along the top, a search bar in the middle, and a few quick resource buttons towards the bottom. The information below will cover the most important pages under each of the three main tabs:
Research and Assignments
The Research and Assignments tab, as you may guess, holds resources for doing research.
- Research Help Guides: This option opens a page listing all of the research guides we have available. There are Guides by Subject, Guides by Course, Using the Library, and Special Topics guides.

- Citation Help: This option opens the VCSU Citation Guide, which provides formatting and citation information for the major citation styles used at VCSU.
- Databases A-Z: This option opens the complete list of databases available for access through the library. Please note that off campus students will need to log in using their NDUS username and password to use the databases. You should be prompted to log in once you click on the database you wish to open.

Library Services
The Library Services tab provides information on how to use the library and ways we can support you.
