FAQ

Where can I find theological information in the library?

A diverse range of online resources can be accessed through our Theology Research Guide at:
https://culibraries.creighton.edu/theology

Resources include databases that provide access to journal articles in theology, many in full-text. Others include full-text access to specialized or scholarly encyclopedias such as the New Catholic Encyclopedia. Still others contain collections of historical monographs back to the 13th century, the bible in many versions, a Library of Latin Texts with works from 240 BC to Vatican II, and much more.

Bibles and books about the Bible are under the call number BS. They are shelved on the Lower Level of the library.

In addition, hundreds of electronic books from academic publishers complement the print collections very nicely. These are accessible via the library’s online catalog.
