This guide will introduce you to our library and provide useful resources to help you succeed academically at NDNU.
The Gellert Library collection consists of books, periodicals (journals), sound recordings, videos, a number of current newspapers and an extensive reference book collection.
With so many resources to choose from, library research can seem like a daunting task. Luckily, DISCOVERY on the library homepage is an easy and fast starting point to access our resources. DISCOVERY mimics regular web searches but delivers content that the library provides. Even inexperienced researchers can quickly and easily access library resources.
You can also use Librarian-created Subject Guides, which can point you to library books and databases relevant to your subject.
