LIBRARY AND INFORMATION RESOURCES NETWORK

Providing educational institutions with millions of resources to support their students'

academic studies.

The Library and Information Resources Network (LIRN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

corporation formed in 1996, is a consortium of educational institutions that have

joined together to share access to information resources.

LIRN members enjoy the benefits of group purchasing, a centrally managed

authentication gateway, both on and off campus access for FNU students, as well as

hosted proxy services, a powerful united search solution, and our new consortium

librarian service.

The LIRN databases collection provides students with millions of peer-reviewed and

full-text journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, e-books, podcasts, audio, and

video resources to support academic studies from ProQuest, OVID, Statista, and

more, covering topics for General Education, Business, Psychology, and Health &

Medical programs.
