I'm an alumnus/alumna of Regis. Can I use the library's databases and digital collections remotely?

No, remote access to Regis Library subscription databases and collections is limited to current students, faculty, and staff. This is largely due to the contractual limitations imposed by our information vendors. That said, we can often provide a digital copy for any single article available in our system. Information needs that extend beyond just a single journal article are often best addressed by using the interlibrary loan system at your local public library. More information for alumni services are available on the Alumni Research Guide.

Why am I getting an "Access Denied" error message when using the library remotely?

Only current students, faculty, and staff are able to access databases and other subscription content remotely. If you are a new or returning student and you are getting this error after attempting to log-in with your Regis login, it is most likely an indication that your Regis account permissions need to be updated.

What is a S.W.O.T. analysis and where can I find them?

394 views   |   0 Vote this question as useful.   0 Vote this question as not useful.   |   Last updated on Aug 18, 2022    research business

S.W.O.T stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. You may have an assignment requiring you to analyze a company to create a S.W.O.T. report. A S.W.O.T. analysis combines various key performance indicators e.g., branding, R & D, competitive pressures, regulations, strategic initiatives, broad product portfolio, supply chain disruptions – to determine a company’s overall health and competitive position. These measures will help you fill out the four quadrants of a S.W.O.T. analysis.

Business & Management databases like Business Source Complete and Business Insights: Global index S.W.O.T. reports in their collection. That is not to say you will simply copy and paste their content into your analysis but if you do use some of that information, be sure to cite your source.

Simply go to either Business Source Complete or Business Insights: Global from the Business Research guide – Articles navigation tab located on the left-hand side of the page.

I will use La-Z-Boy or LZB (ticker symbol) for this example. If you perform a keyword search either using “La-Z-Boy” or “LZB” in Business Source Complete, a S.W.O.T. report will populate when using “La-Z-Boy” (without quotes). If you simply use “LZB” a number of other useful resources will populate including trade publications, newspapers, and magazines. These will also be useful if your company does not have a S.W.O.T. report in a database. I always recommend using a competitor’s S.W.O.T. report (if available) if your primary company is not available. This will give you an idea of what key performance indicators are analyzed in order to create a report.

May I renew interlibrary loan (ILL) items?

302 views   |   0 Vote this question as useful.   0 Vote this question as not useful.   |   Last updated on Dec 07, 2023    ILL access/borrowing

The lending library determines whether or not the materials you borrow may be renewed, and that status will be indicated on the ILL band attached to each item. Prospector books may be renewed once via telephone, e-mail, or through the “My Library Account” link in Lumen, the Regis Library catalog, provided another patron is not waiting for the item. Late return of materials jeopardizes the ability of our library to borrow from other libraries in the future, so please return materials by the due date.

Please leave the ILL band attached to each item. You may be assessed a fine if the band is removed.

Does the library provide assistance with legal research?

291 views   |   0 Vote this question as useful.   0 Vote this question as not useful.   |   Last updated on Dec 07, 2023    research

Yes, Research and Instruction Librarians at the Regis Library can assist patrons with basic legal research including searching for federal and state cases, legislative searches, and business licensing/regulatory searches. However, our resources for legal research are relatively few compared to most law school libraries. For more advanced legal research, we recommend contacting a library associated with a nearby law school (e.g. University of Denver, CU-Boulder, etc.).

We do not provide legal advice or counsel.

What is the best library database to use when starting my research?

283 views   |   0 Vote this question as useful.   0 Vote this question as not useful.   |   Last updated on Dec 07, 2023    getting started research

We recommend LumenPlus for most topical keyword searches for articles, books, magazines, and other published papers. LumenPlus integrates most, but not all, of the libraries 260+ individual databases in one searchable interface. Coverage across nearly all subjects is good in LumenPlus, but there are occasions when you will be better served searching one of the subject specialized databases as listed on the subject and course research guides.
