Get Connected! with Hekman Library

Follow our quick orientation module to get connected to library resources and services

Welcome to Students!

This guide is an orientation to Hekman Library's services and resources for Calvin University students, both online and on-campus. Keep reading to get answers to all your questions about accessing materials and getting more help from your online librarians!

Remember, always go through the library website to get electronic resources like ebooks or ejournal articles - just Googling any of our databases won't provide free access, like we do! To view the full text for our library resources, you may be prompted by the library system to log with your Calvin ID and passphrase if you are a Calvin University student (Calvin Seminary students should follow the alternative instructions). If you ever have any issues or questions about getting access to online resources, always ask a librarian for help.

The library offers personal research help in several different ways (online, in person, etc.), answering all kinds of questions. Both on and off-campus, there are librarians available and eager to help you! If you prefer in-person help, visit our Research Assistance Desk on 3rd floor to talk with our librarians and student research consultants, or see our check-out desk for questions about your library account and item requests. For more online help, check out the links below to find multiple ways of contacting the library:
