Library Resources and Academic Support for SCE Students

The library is open 8 am-2 am Sunday-Thursday, 8 am-10 pm Friday, 9 am-10 pm Saturday.
Research help for students is available on a drop in basis from 8:30 am-10 pm Monday-Friday, 9 am-10 pm on weekends.
Students can also make a research appointment, or ask questions remotely using the Ask Us/Tell Us box on the library home page: providence.edu/library.
All of the library’s electronic research databases are available off-campus. Students will just need to log in using their Network or Sakai credentials.
The library has access to nearly one million eBooks, which can be downloaded and read anywhere. Most of those books are here but other eBooks come up when doing a basic book search.
In addition to books, the library also lends iPads, laptops, graphing calculators, phone chargers, headphones and more!
There is also a Tech Hub desk staffed by student workers in the lower level of the library. They can help with password re-sets and Sakai issues.
Librarians are available to provide classroom instruction – please contact Andria Tieman, Commons Librarian for Digital Research & Education: atieman@providence.edu or 401-865-1252.
