Search for books and online articles from UNLV Libraries and beyond using Quick Search.
The default search results will include books, online journal articles, streaming video and more. Filters on the results page let you select materials by format, subject, date, or language, or you can opt to see only articles from peer-reviewed journals.
Log in with your ACE account to see results from more databases, to save and organize your items and searches, and to access your library account.
Databases let you search collections of information organized around an academic subject, a type of information or a topic. For example, the Hospitality & Tourism Complete database indexes all articles published in hospitality-related journals.
Research guides for every major at UNLV link to the best databases in that discipline, along with advice from subject specialist librarians.
UNLV has online subscriptions to many academic journals, professional and trade journals, and popular magazines and newspapers. To find the link to a specific journal, search for the name of the publication in the A-Z list below.
Books can be retrieved from the shelves or requested from the QuickSearch and held for pickup at the circulation desk.
Some textbooks for high-enrollment classes are available for short term loans in the course reserves area via a program funded by the CSUN student government.

If you wish to recommend an item to add to the collection, please fill out the information below as completely as possible. Recommendations will be forwarded to a liaison librarian for review and purchase consideration, but the library cannot guarantee the purchase of every item requested. Materials that support the research and teaching programs of the university are given first priority. Please suggest one purchase per form submission.
Assuming an item has been selected for purchase, ordering, shipping and processing can still take several weeks. If you need the item in a shorter timeframe please use our InterLibrary Loan services to borrow from another library.
