Hello!

This guide has been specifically created to assist English Language Learners (ELLs) in the Intensive English Language Program (IELP) at Manhattan University. As a member of the Manhattan University Community you are considered a Jasper.

Jaspers are welcomed to use all the resources of the O'Malley Library.  There is a variety of resources in print and electronic formats: books, ebooks, DVDs, Streamed Videos, and other electronic resources such as scholarly, research journals, professions/trade journals, magazines, newspapers, reports, book reviews, software reviews, etc. 

With your Jasper I.D. card you are entitled:

• Borrow books (print) and DVDs
• Log on to computers to on campus
• Access full-text electronic documents
• View streamed videos
• Print, scan, & fax documents
• Use library services
• Find a comfortable area in the library to study, engage in group work, or read

The library has many databases which provide access to full-text documents.  Many of these databases have audio so you can listen to the text being read aloud to you in English.  In fact, a few databases offer an audio selection of different English varieties spoken throughout the world.  You might find a variety of English spoken in your area of the world. Listening to English while reading ebooks and e-articles will help you further develop listening skills as well as reading skills in English.

If you have questions about resources and/or services, please feel free to ask for assistance such as

• Borrow library materials at the Circulation Desk (first desk entering the library).
