It is possible for current Rutgers students, faculty, and staff to access the Rutgers University Libraries' online resources off-campus. Be sure to go through the Libraries Website and you will be prompted to log in with your Rutgers NetID and password.
If none of Rutgers' libraries own the book you want, see if it is available through E-ZBorrow. If you are unsuccessful in finding the book there, request an Interlibrary Loan.
Reference books such as encyclopedias are a great place to do some preliminary research. You can get a good overview about your topic, perhaps narrow down your topic if it was too broad before, and most importantly, identify seach terms to use when you begin your search for books and/or articles.
While the Rutgers University Libraries have many print reference books available, if you are currently off-campus, you may find it more convenient to use our online ones:
If you are interested in browsing the shelves of the library for books, keep in mind the Library of Congress classification system:
