Justice Data and Research

Are you doing research in relation to criminal justice topics?  If so, did you know that the Justice Center does all kinds of research studies and produces data that can be highly useful.  See information about what is available on their website.  Also, during 2015 the Justice Center celebrated 40 years 1975-2015.

 

 

Got Textbooks?

Well, no actually.  The Consortium Library does not purchase textbooks for classes.  Luckily, you have some alternatives:

1) Stop by the Library’s circulation desk to see if the book for your class has been put on reserve by your professor. Make sure you know the instructor’s last name and the title of the item. Or you can check for yourself by going to Course Reserves and looking for the course by instructor last name, course name, or course ID.

2) Check if you are able to rent the textbook through the UAA Campus Bookstore or purchase a used copy.

3) Try one of the websites listed in our Textbook guide to rent, download, purchase used, or access an open textbook.

Good luck with the spring semester!
