Resources for Your Courses and Assignments

Use the library's electronic resources to find digital articles, newspaper, books, and videos for your course assignments. We have ~300 specialized databases for you to choose from, as well as OneSearch to search across many of them simultaneously. This page provides guidance about how to find and use these different tools. 

Start at the SCU Library website to search:

  • OneSearch: our all-in-one search engine that queries the library's catalog and most of the library's subscription databases
  • Religious Studies Databases: a list of databases specifically to religious studies (e.g. ATLA and JSTOR)
  • Other Subject Databases: look for a database outsides of Religious Studies (e.g. education or LGBTQ+ studies) 
  • Ebooks and other digital content like streaming films

Note: Learn more about the differences between searching Google, OneSearch, and subject databases here.

Remote Access: To access all of these resources remotely, you will be prompted to login using your SCU email and password.
