Research Tools

ANNOUCEMENT: Starting July 1st, 2025, some library services will be unavailable as we migrate to a new library platform. 

The library catalog, database and newspaper access, and ebooks will be down during this time. Unaffected services are interlibrary loan, in-person checkouts, research help, and IT help. We look forward to welcoming you to our new system in mid-August. 

Welcome to Research at Mahoney Library!

Here you will find everything you need to do research and write papers at Saint Elizabeth University. Use the sidebar navigation to locate the topic you need help with. If you need help finding sources for a specific paper or would like one-on-one help, please contact us using the Ask a Librarian form.
