The John E. Riley Library provides access to a variety of academic resources and services. The collections include print and e-books, print and e-journals, licensed databases, music CD’s, DVD’s, state-adopted K-12 curriculum, and government documents. Beyond the John E. Riley, there is the option to request materials from libraries across the United States, as well as participate in the reciprocal borrowing program through Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries across the United States. The library can be accessed at library.nnu.edu.
Librarians are available to help students develop search strategies, navigate information resources, locate hard-to-find materials, and use and cite sources ethically. During the regular academic year, librarians are available three evenings a week, and students may also schedule an appointment at other times. Research guides are embedded in each course to help students navigate the various licensed resources.
Local students are welcome to visit the John E. Riley Library, located in the Leah Peterson Learning Commons, to use study rooms, work on research and writing assignments, or collaborate with classmates on group projects. Study rooms may be reserved up to 4 weeks in advance.
