Academic Resources for Students

Library Research

Visit the Immaculata library site for online full-text articles. Proquest is a database of full-text nursing journals. Other databases you may find useful are ERIC (any education topic), JSTOR (for your humanities courses), LexisNexus (legal or business topics), or Academic Abstracts (cross-disciplinary).

To access the databases online:

go the library web page and select "Reference Sources."
When prompted, enter your user name, firstnamelastname (no spaces), and your password. (The default password is the last four numbers of your Social Security number.)
If you have trouble logging in, call the Help Desk (during regular business hours) at 610-647-4400 x 1234.

Also, you can use services of the Libraries of the following Colleges & Universities, (including checking out books!) with your Immaculata ID card:

Neumann College
Rosemont College

E-mail accounts and receiving articles by e-mail:

All students, upon registering, are issued an e-mail account (same login as noted in the library instructions). You can have articles that are not available online in full text e-mailed to this account. To do this, on the Library page, click "Policies & Services" and "Interlibrary Loan", then select journal article and type in your request. (You might want to forward this e-mail account to the one you use on a regular basis.)

If you need additional assistance with accessing your Immaculata email visit the campus portal online help.
