Munday Library Databases

While the Munday Library’s catalog, SORIN, does offer access to books, journal articles and videos, there are times when it is more accurate to search for content within the Munday Library’s specialized education related databases because of the filters and subject searching they provide. These links should take you directly to the specific database (if you are off-campus you will need to log in with your St. Edward’s University ID and password). If you have problems connecting, e-mail library@stedwards.edu. First time SORIN users, consult Finding Scholarly Articles.
