Collections

Librarians work closely with faculty and students to develop strong collections supporting research and teaching, with seamless off-campus access. You may contact us to suggest new books, journals, DVDs, datasets, and other items to add to the Libraries’ collections.

For materials not owned by the NCSU Libraries, free interlibrary loan is available through Tripsaver (www.lib.ncsu.edu/tripsaver). Articles are delivered online, usually within two business days. Books within the Triangle Research Libraries Network (UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, and NCCU) can be physically delivered within two business days, and NC State faculty and students can also visit and borrow materials directly from those institutions and from all University of North Carolina libraries across the state.

Research assistance

Librarians are available to support your research needs and answer questions. Contact them for one-on-one assistance with literature searching, citation management, data management, or finding information (www.lib.ncsu.edu/researchconsultation).

The Libraries’ Copyright & Digital Scholarship Center provides guidance on scholarly communication and copyright issues (www.lib.ncsu.edu/cdsc).

Workshops

Workshops are offered on a regular basis covering topics including literature reviews, navigating research databases, citation management, and data visualization (www.lib.ncsu.edu/researchworkshops).
