Libraries

  • There are two Libraries on campus: W.E.B. Du Bois Library and the Science & Engineering Library (in the Lederle Lowrise — this is where Lutz’s office is)
  • Check the Libraries website for current hours
  • Graduate Commons: Du Bois Library, 5th floor

Articles, Books, Streaming Media, and Other Resources

  • Subscriptions to over 500 databases, including Web of Science, PsycInfo, SportDiscus, and integration with PubMed for easier access to full text.
  • Robust Interlibrary Loan service for materials we don’t have access to: NEVER pay for articles — if we don’t have it, we can almost always get it!
  • eJournals/Publication Finder: Use it to look up the title of a journal to see if we have online access to it. Use the Discovery Search (default on the Libraries webpage) to search for books, e-books, streaming media, newspapers, and some articles. NOTE: Doesn’t search all databases — for example, PubMed not included
  • Citation Managers: We currently offer support for Zotero and Mendeley.
  • ScholarWorks @UMassAmherst: Our institutional repository — where UMass Amherst dissertations, theses, and capstone projects are stored.
