Weather-Proof Library Resources
If Duke University declares that the Severe Weather Policy is in effect, Ford Library may need to close our library facility in Breeden Hall at the Fuqua School.
Regardless of the weather, our reference librarians and other staff can still support your research needs remotely (Mon.-Fri. 8am – 4:30pm) — assuming we have power in our homes!
The closure of our facility won’t affect your access to our online research databases, e-journals, or e-books. Those should remain accessible 24/7/365 barring technical issues at the provider sites. The links below will give you quick access to those resources.
- The Duke Libraries Catalog – use for e-books
- Selected Business Research Databases
- Other Duke Research Databases
- Selected Business Online Journals/Magazines/Newspapers
- All Duke Online Journals/Magazines/Newspapers
If a faculty member lists a particular print resource for a course, there may be e-book or online audiobook versions available if you cannot access print while the Library is closed. The list below includes the online versions of some of those resources designated for Spring Term 1.
- Game changer, – David McAdams
- Negotiation genius (e-book) (audiobook) – Malhotra & Bazerman
- Net positive – Polman & Winston
- Power (e-book) (audiobook) – Jeffrey Pfeffer
- Sports in America (e-book) (audiobook) – Michener & Berry
We encourage you to stay safe and sheltered, and please let us know if we can help with your research!
