Writing Analytically: The Idea of a University: Balancing Heart and Mind (Honors)

A guide to library research

Lumen, the Library Catalog

Use Lumen, the Regis Library catalog, to find books, electronic books, DVDs, and more.

For searches on specific people, try a Subject search (using the drop down menu) and search by Lastname, Firstname:

  • Newman, John Henry

The same format works in an Author search to see what writings we have by that person.

Prospector Catalog

Use Prospector to search for and request items from Regis University or other regional libraries. When you identify an item you want in Prospector, click on the "Request this Item" link to have it sent to a Regis Colorado campus. You will need your Regis ID number to complete the request process.

The same searches that work in the Regis catalog (see above) will work here.
