Conducting Secondary ResearchThe Ramapo College Library has an extensive collection of secondary sources. Electronic databases are accessible from remote access, as well as within the Library. Reference Librarians are available at the Library to answer your questions, and to provide you with their expertise. The link at the bottom of this page takes you to the Library home page, which is your gateway to accessing the Ramapo College Library collection. You will find Ebsco, Infotrac, JSTOR, LexisNexis, Proquest, and Wilson among the many databases. Recently, Gallup Brain has been added to the Library collection.
