Welcome to the Jerry Falwell Library.                 

We are proud of our athletes and understand the time limitations due to practice and sporting events.  Our goal is to assist our athletes with their research endeavors.  

This Research Guide will give you resources and ways in which you can become a more efficient researcher.  The databases, books, e-books, media, and websites listed in this guide will direct you to comprehensive and scholarly resources for your next research paper, project, or presentation. 

The library website has a new look. Please see this tutorial for assistance with the new layout.
