Hello!
Welcome to the SCU Library from your Business & Data Services Librarian.
Here for you are thousands of business publications, data sources, and free subscriptions, along with research help to connect you with what you need for your courses, assignments, and projects.
My contact info is on the left. Please reach out with questions big or small. I'm always happy to connect by email, and you can also book an appointment with me for a virtual or in-person conversation.
To chat with a live librarian 24/7, please take advantage of our Ask a Librarian service, anytime from anywhere.
Best,
Paul
