Library Databases Update: Ready to go!

Happy Saturday, Shippensburg!

It looks like Ship Library's databases are stable and available this morning -- hopefully last night's brief service window gave you some time for fun and friends. 
It's time to get back to researching your papers and assignments...
Please let us know if you're having trouble with any of the databases or would like some help with your research. The easy way is to search Instant Answers (there's an Instant Answers widget on the right side of this page) with the topic of your question - if we haven't already answered it, please submit your question through our contact form!
