In the Know @ the Bentley Library

September 22 - 28 is Banned Books Week!
Censorship Leaves Us in the Dark. Keep the Light On.

Academic OneFile is a multidisciplinary database providing millions of articles from scholarly journals and other authoritative sources with extensive coverage in key subject areas, such as biology, chemistry, criminal justice, economics, environmental science, history, marketing, political science, and psychology.

Check out the 140+ new books, DVDs, audiobooks, and OverDrive downloadable books we acquired in August. Go to the New Books & DVDs page to browse the new arrivals by subject or format. If you want to put something on on hold simply click the “Request” button and log-in to your library account with your Bentley email address and password.

We are often asked if we have course textbooks. The answer is, "maybe".

Although the Bentley Library does not purchase textbooks, it is worth checking to see if (1) your professor has placed a copy of the textbook on reserve or (2) your textbook happens to be in the library's regular book collection.

(1) Check Course Reserves
