Public Administration: Home

Welcome to the Public Administration  Resource Guide. Please feel free to contact me for research assistance via email at cphelps@uno.edu.  If you just have a quick question, you can try the Ask a Librarian service in the box on the left during chat hours 8:00-4:30 Monday-Friday.

For research assistance with Louisiana or New Orleans topics, contact the Louisiana and Special Collections Department at libspec@uno.edu or see the Louisiana and Special Collections web page.

The Louisiana & Special Collections Reading Room is open Tuesdays through Fridays, from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm.    Special Collections materials are available by advance appointment only.  Appointments are available Tuesdays through Fridays from 11am-3pm during the semester.  A link to make an advance appointment is available on the Louisiana & Special Collections web page. 

If you are attempting to access an e-book, e-journal, or subscription database from off campus, you will be asked to log in.  When you click on the resource, you'll be taken to a screen that looks like this. Follow the directions to log in. If you don't know your PIN or have never set up a PIN, click "Reset my PIN," enter your UNO ID+ 2 zeroes, hit "Submit" and a reset link will be emailed your UNO email account.

Use the UNO Library's online catalog to locate books in the library. You can use the author search or the title search to look up a specific book. You can also search by keyword to search all of the information in the catalog records, for any reference to a word or phrase, including some tables of contents.

Electronic books are also included in the catalog. You can limit your search to e-books by selecting “Electronic Book” from the “Item Type” filter on the left side of the page, then click "Include" above the filter. To see an e-book from the catalog, just click on the URL in the record to access an electronic version of a book (login required for off-campus access).
