Library

Find Books, Articles and More

The Brandeis Library provides access to a wealth of information resources in many formats. Our goal is to transition of as much scholarly content as possible from print to electronic form, enabling more powerful searching and 24/7 remote access to these resources.

Articles, e-Journals and Databases

The Brandeis Library has more than 250 databases and 30,000 electronic journals covering a wide range of subjects. Library databases search journals, newspapers, magazines, dissertations, government documents, and other digital content.

OneSearch is the Library’s research tool to help you search millions of resources at once. Quickly see what’s available without having to search individual databases and the catalog. Use OneSearch to get the overview you need when you’re beginning your research, or if you know the title and/or author of a specific book, use OneSearch to find it quickly.
