Master of Business Administration: Information for Graduate Students

1. Get to know your librarian.
   •  Your librarian is available to help you  one-on-one with a research project or a general library orientation. We collaborate with your faculty to understand your assignments and research needs.
   • Research help is also available by phone, email or chat.
2. Kick off your research by exploring the research guide for your program.
   • The guides are a gateway to research resources tailored to your needs 
3. Expand your knowledge by borrowing materials from the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) and beyond.
   • Find books, ebooks, and articles by using MULibrary Search
   • Request books owned by other institutions in the WRLC. 
   • If a book or article isn't owned by any library in the WRLC, we'll get it for you via Interlibrary Loan.
4. Take advantage of longer check-out periods for library books.
   • MU graduate students get an extended check-out period of 6 weeks. Renewals can be completed online through your library account.
5. Use the MU version of Google Scholar to quickly find articles.
   • Use Google Scholar from our databases link on the library home page. We've pre-structured  the link to give you immediate access to articles that MU Library pays for on your behalf.
6. Search smarter with the advanced filters of the MU databases.
   • The super-charged filters allow you to limit search results by date, subject, publication type, and more.
7. Use a citation tool to manage your lit review and create bibliographies in a snap.
   • Overwhelmed by keeping track of articles? Consider using RefWorks, an online citation manager tool freely available to Marymount students. RefWorks enables you to create your own personal library of sources and export citations and bibliographies.  It evens integrates with Google docs!
8. Use online library resources on or off campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
   • Remember that accessing library online information resources from off-campus requires you to sign-in.
9. Find your way to the quiet of the Graduate Reading Room on the 1st floor.
   • Or discover other quiet study nooks throughout the MU library! The whole ground floor of the library is reserved for quiet study.  Shhhh!
10. Borrow technology at the library
    • ​Laptops and tablets are available at Main Campus and the Ballston Center
