Library

Welcome to the Concordia University Irvine Library! We provide students and faculty with access to resources and services necessary for their intellectual advancement in an academic environment and in support of the research and instructional mission of the University. We strive to be Concordia’s gateway to the world of information and scholarship.

Where do I start?

We have many resources to help you with your research! You may want to begin at our General Library Information guide, featuring descriptions and videos for many library services and tools.

• If you are looking for a physical book in the library, search the library catalog.
• If you are looking for journal articles, start at our research databases. If you are having a hard time figuring out which database to choose, try our research guides. These guides recommend books and articles for specific subjects or courses.
• Want to watch a video on how to use our resources? We have videos for the library catalog, EBSCO, JSTOR, Find a Journal, Ebooks, Google Scholar, and Interlibrary Loan.

Need ideas to start your research? Begin with a reference collection or encyclopedia. We have a large reference collection on the first floor of the library. You can also try the Oxford Reference Collection online.
