What can the library help you with?
The JMU Libraries have many resources to help you succeed here at JMU. Some ways we can help include-
- You have your own librarian, Alyssa! Each subject here at JMU has a librarian dedicated to help students in those classes. They are here to help you and provide answers to questions that might come up while doing a project. Email Alyssa for help or any questions you have.
- If we do not have a book or other resource that you need for a project, we can help locate it for you to borrow! Use our Interlibrary Loan service.
- You have access to hundreds of research databases, thousands of ebooks and movies, and more.
