Non-Profit Resources  

The Auraria Library's Non-Profit books and DVD's are located in several areas.  These resources can potentially be found in the Reference, Periodicals, Government Documents, Reserves/Media and 2nd Floor collections in the Library (all DVD's are found in Reserves/Media only). Most materials in Government Documents, and all of those on the 2nd Floor (outside of Archives), can be checked out. Those in the other collections mentioned cannot.

Within each collection, materials are usually arranged and located by call numbers. The call number refers to a subject. Most of the library's materials in the area of Non-Profit organizations are assigned the following call numbers. 

HD62.6 - Non-profit management  
HD2769.15 - Non-profit industry  
HD 8039.N65 - Non-profit employees 
HF5656.N56 - Non-profit accounting  
HG4027.65  - Non-profit finance

This guide lists the Auraria Library's information resources related to Non-Profit organizations.  These include article databases, internet resources, books, DVD's and more.  Some of these resources are databases which provide articles and information on business in general, and not just on Non-Profits.  These may include information on for-profit companies and industries, international business and trade relationships, country economic data, etc.  Please contact "Your Librarian" (see right) if you have questions about these resources or need assistance in using them.

Click on any of the headings below to find articles or information in that subject area.  Under each heading are a number of databases that can be used to find articles/information for that subject.  To the right of each heading is the name of a major database for that particular area.  You may want to start your research there. 

TIP: For databases that do not contain the full text of an article, remember to check Journal Finder in Skyline, from the Auraria Library's home page, to see if the journal your article is in can be accessed in full text in any other databases or in the Library. If you cannot find the full text of a particular journal, use Prospector to order journal and magazine articles that Auraria Library doesn't own or use ILLiad to order a journal article from outside Colorado.
