Library

LIRN is an online library accessible to students and faculty 24/7 at www.LIRN.net and in our courses in Canvas. 

LIRN provides a core library collection with access to thousands of quality full-text scholarly journals, e-books, and audio-visual media. CIAM has subscriptions of several excellent, specialized business databases from ProQuest (i.e., ABI/INFORM) and GALE (i.e., Business Insights, Gale One File Business, Gale One File: Economics and Theory, and Gale One File: Entrepreneurship.) Statista, also in LIRN, offers statistics and analytical reports on pertinent topics, markets and industries, and Statista   includes software to develop a business plan and detailed profit and loss statement. E-Book Central (formerly Ebrary) offers ready access to several hundred thousand e-books in multiple disciplines.   

Instructions on how to access LIRN will be provided at orientation and upon request. A librarian will be available to students for assistance with accessing library resources and for any library questions during open library office hours for hybrid on-campus hybrid classes.  A librarian is available to students and faculty anytime except federal holidays through the form on this library web page or by email at [email protected]. Students can also make an appointment with the librarian by mutual arrangement thru Zoom to meet with or without video. Please reach out!  You are welcome.
