A Librarian is a "trained research professional" and can help you with quick questions or in-depth research needs. We became Librarians because we like people. How can we help you?

Coastline has subscriptions to a lot of Academic Databases that have just what you need. Access the Academic Databases by visiting our ebooks & Databases webpage. Watch "Which database should I choose?" on the Library YouTube channel to find the best database for your research need.
