The UVU Library Unlocks the Mysteries of the Mind

Dr. Sacks was born July 9, 1933.

Because this week is eminent psychologist and scientist Oliver Sacks' birthday, we're highlighting our psychology resources. The Library collects books (print and online) on cognition, neuroscience, psychotherapy, mental illness, and many more topics. We also provide access to a Triple Crown of psychology databases, which provide access to a wide swatch of current and historic psychology articles.

Psychological research is an incredibly diverse area, so if you have questions about your psychology research, contact our psychology librarian, Jacques d'Emal, or call the Reference Desk at (801) 863-8840.
