The Auraria Library continues to be an excellent source of information, support and resources for all members of the Auraria Campus community.

The Auraria Library is highlighting several useful databases that help students, faculty and staff conduct research by making it easy to find organized collections of articles, journals, news, streaming videos, primary sources, data and more. Databases are centered on a central topic, so if any of these topics resonates with your area, please share with fellow Roadrunners.
