What are some general things students from St. Luke's should know about the HJF Library?
The HJF Library is fully available to all of Morningside students, including students who are only attending classes in the St. Luke's building. If you are new to Morningside, here are a few things to keep in mind that may help you.
- Make sure to access all content through the HJF Library website and to use your Morningside email/password for accessing any content off campus.
- You can place books and movies/films on hold and request they're delivered to the St. Luke's building instead of picking them up at Morningside University.
- If you hit paywalls searching Google Scholar or other sources, follow this guide to get the full text FOR FREE. See this FAQ for how to do that.
- Anything not freely available online or through the HJF's databases can be borrowed through a service called Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Here's an FAQ on how to do that. It is a free service we offer.
- Research and citation help is available to all students: in person meetings or walk-ins, via email, online chat, or Google Meet virtual meetings. Appiontments can be made at this site and you will also find the contact information for Adam Fullerton and Karen Wascher.
- As Morningside Students, you all have access to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Directions for signing up are linked to each paper's title.
- The HJF Library has access to over 280,000 ebooks through EBSCO's eBook Collection.
- Make sure to check out our online Help Guides for using databases, general research help, and citation assistance for Chicago, MLA and APA styles.
- We have a select number of medical/nursing databases available that are found in our A to Z Database list. Here's a link right to those specific databases.
- Though you enrolled at St. Luke's, you are now a Morningside student. That entitles you full access to the HJF Library, including the physical space. If you'd like to visit or study at the HJF Library, see our open hours here.
