This guide was developed to provide quick links and help for the URSI program. Your liaison librarian is Emily Benton (ebenton@vassar.edu), please send any question you have to them.

 Vassar College Libraries have many online and in-person resources, as well as librarians who will be happy to help you with your research needs! Don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have questions about finding or access to journals, books, ebooks, strategies for conducting database searches, tools for organizing your citations...or anything else that will support you in your research. 

First things first: You'll need to get access to databases, journals, ebooks, and other online materials.

• Connect to Vassar's online resources from off campus
• To get to our databases, use the Databases A-Z list, which will give you proxy links to make off-campus access simple.
• There's even a proxy URL for Google Scholar. Using this link will help you get quick access to articles available through Vassar's online resources.

Check out our research guides to find out which databases, ebook collections, and journals will be relevant to your research in a particular discipline.

Get in touch with your liaison librarian if you have any questions! You can: 

• Email 
• Set up a Zoom consultation
• Request the purchase of an ebook for your research (email us to discuss)

Open Office hours for URSI students will be 10am-3pm on Wednesdays in my office RM 118 at the library.
