This guide will highlight library resources and provide answers to questions that many new graduate students ask.  The Library collection contains over 310,000 items including books, journals, newspapers, microforms, media materials, e-books and e-journals.  The FGCU Library catalog will indicate the call number and if a book is available.  It will also offer links to e-journals and e-books which are freely available when on campus but require an FGCU ID for authentication when off campus.
