Here at the Kean University Library, some of our most popular online databases are the EBSCOhost suite of resources. These brief tutorials, provided by the EBSCO corporation, can give you an idea of how to better hone your skills as a researcher.

The first video describes a basic search, followed by two videos which described more advanced searching options. If you go to the EBSCO YouTube channel, there are even more videos tutorials to help you become an EBSCOhost grand master! 🙂

A recent article posted on the KeanXchange gave a description of the Nancy Thompson Library, and many of the wonderful things you’ll find here! 🙂

Hi there!

Despite Hurricane Irene’s recent visit, the campus looks clear and unflooded today. (except for a few minor puddles) Incoming resident students are expected to move in today, and it looks like they’re getting a beautiful day for it! The Library will be open until 5pm today, so once you’re all moved in, stop by for a visit! 🙂

Some small branches on the ground seems to be the worst of the damage.

The parking lot at Vaugn-Eames is ready for incoming students

The Nancy Thompson Library waits for the fresh new crop of students.
