Brandman University Library and Research Guide  

Brandman University Library Services

Leatherby Libraries, located on the main Chapman University campus in Orange, California, provides Brandman University students, staff, and faculty access to books, videos, DVDs, CDs, and print journal articles within the Library’s physical collection. Additionally, Brandman University library users may remotely access electronic books, full-text articles, and more through the Library’s online databases. In instances when the Library does not own a particular book or article, Brandman library users may request these items via Interlibrary Loan.

This guide serves as a basic how-to for conducting your library research and navigating Leatherby Libraries. The tabs above link to tutorials on finding books, articles, and journals, borrowing from the Library, Interlibrary Loan, avoiding plagiarism, and evaluating websites.

Since the majority of Brandman University students are not able to use the Library in person, we have created a borrowing system to accommodate distant patrons. Items housed within the Library or requested via Interlibrary Loan are delivered to currently enrolled or currently employed Brandman University patrons at no extra charge. Please link to the "How to Borrow Items" and "Interlibrary Loan" tabs above for more information about these services.

You can start your search for library materials at the Leatherby Libraries homepage, www.chapman.edu/library.
