In this guide, you will find information about the Library and using Academic Resources for your coursework and assignments.

Getting Help
Library Staff are here to help you with your research, finding information or using the library.
Please visit the Library Help Desk on the main floor (which is the 3rd floor) or Ask Us.
Learn more with this how-to guide Introduction to Library Research.

Off-campus access
Most online resources on the Library website are available from anywhere off-campus.
Some databases will ask you to login. Use your culinary username and password that you use for email, MainMenu, Moodle, etc.

Interlibrary Loan
If there is a book or article that we do not have in the library we will get a copy for you through Interlibrary Loan, a free service for all CIA students, staff & faculty.

Use dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases and handbooks to find background information, definitions, data, and more. Helpful for choosing a topic, narrowing or expanding a topic, and identifying terminology.  See Selected Reference books in the Hilton Library and online.
