Quick Links to Library Resources

  • UPSem Library Home Page - This site contains links to all library resources and services as well as a search box with advanced search options.
  • Library Catalog - Search for eBooks - This is the most productive way to search for eBooks available through UPSem Library:In the "General Search" enter your search term as a subject or a keyword (e.g., "theology" or "Isaiah"). Limit to "eBooks" in the "Everything" dropdown menu. Hint: for best results, sort your search results by "Publication Date - Descending" using the "Sort By" dropdown at the top of your results screen."
  • Digital Reference Sources - This guide brings together many of the library's digital reference sources in one guide, arranging them by reference categories including; Bible Commentaries, Dictionaries & Handbooks, Encyclopedias, Bibles & Concordances, Preaching & Lectionary Aids, Theologians and Writing and Style Guides.
  • Inter-Library Loan Services - Electronic ILL services are available to all students on all platforms. However, physical ILLs must be picked up in person at our Richmond location or, for items sent from Richmond to Charlotte, on the Charlotte campus.
