Find Articles

Full length journal, magazine and newspaper articles can be found in our online article collections.

If a book or article cannot be found in PVAMU's resources, it can usually be borrowed from another library. Fill out the Interlibrary Loan form, and please note that it may take several weeks to receive the item.

Find Books

Background reading on Current Events can be found throughout the Library, but don't expect to find a book on a very recent event! Search the PVAMU Libraries Online Catalog for specific topics (e.g., abortion), but try and be as specific as possible, to avoid retrieving too many records. You'll also find useful material in:

Facts on File REF D410.F32; current year at Reference Counter

Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report REF JK1.C15; current year at Reference Counter

CQ Researcher REF H35.E35; current year at Reference Counter
