Space is not the final frontier at the UVU Library

Valentina Tereshkova,
the first woman in space

This week marks a lot of anniversaries in space travel. On June 16 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. Ten years ago, NASA launched the Mars Spirit Rover. And 30 years ago, Pioneer 10 became the first human-made object to leave the solar system.

In light of these achievements, we're looking at our own science and engineering resources here in the Library.

Applied Science and Technology 

This database contains years of articles in physics, engineering, computing, and other applied sciences as well as the most up to date research.   

Aviation Collection (Airport Campus)

Located at the Provo Airport, our aviation collection not only contains books about aviation and emergency services, but also videos showing you to the proper techniques for taking to the skies.

Aviation Research Guide

Get started on your aviation research with our specially designed research guide. This guide lists useful reference books, databases, and authoritative websites.

Astronomy Research Guide

This guide doesn't just point out what's up there. It also helps you find the best research about astronomical physics, space travel, and much more.

Physics Research Guide

Our physics guide can show you the path to learning how the big things (galaxies) and the very small things (quarks) work.
