Access

It's a situation you are probably familiar with: you find an article or a book that you need for your work, but it's nowhere to be found in the Grand View library.  What do you do?

One of our goals at the GV library is to make sure you have access to lots of resources and not just the ones that we have here.  In other words, if you need an article you can ask us to get it for you.  If you need a book, we can get that for you too.  Just send us an email to library[at]grandview.edu and give us the citation for your item.  If you need further help asking for an interlibrary loan, watch our videos on how to do one.

You should have as many resources as you need.  Take advantage of our interlibrary loan services as often as you need them.

Our library is always ordering new books. We display all of our new material on the 1st floor of the building so people can peruse them as they casually walk by our low shelves. What new books have come in lately? Here's a sample of some of our new ones:


How Life Began: Evolution's Three Geneses



America's Food: What You Don't Know About What You Eat



Why History Matters



Last Great Wilderness: The Campaign to Establish the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge



From Colony to Superpower: U.S. Foreign Relations Since 1776
