    Introduction
     
    Greetings from the UNE Libraries!
This site will help Education students do library research for UNE's distance education programs in education. We have many full text online resources for you, and provide a full range of services to our off-campus students. Many of the books and journals you will find through our catalogs are available in electronic versions, which you can link directly  into remotely.
     
    Library Catalogs
     
    UNE's Online Catalog will let you know what books we own and what journals we subscribe to in paper and electronic form. You can borrow books from the UNE Libraries by clicking on the blue "Request" button above the title.

To check availability in other libraries, use this Worldcat tool.
