The NJ Jersey State Library’s (NJSL) Electronic Resources portal provides access to a wide range of digital databases, journals, and research tools for residents and library users.
This comprehensive collection supports academic, professional, and personal research across various subjects and disciplines.
Databases
Visitors to NJSL have access to a wide variety of electronic databases onsite.
Remote access to subscription databases is restricted to NJSL authorized users (state employees and, unless otherwise noted, TESU staff and students). Authorized users can register for a State Library card for remote access to electronic resources.
New Jersey residents should use JerseyClicks to access databases licensed for statewide use and visit their local library website for access to additional content.
