Using the Library

How to...
The Cook Library's "How to..." Guide contains some basic information about searching the library catalog, evaluating information to help you decide if it's appropriate to include in your assignment, and more.
Ask a Librarian
Need help and your librarian is not available? Try reaching out to us using one of the methods on our Ask a Librarian page, or stop by the Ask Us desk on the main floor (floor 3) of the library.

You can access our online resources from off-campus. Add this button as a bookmark to your browser, and then reload to get it through TU Libraries. If we subscribe to it, you will be able to see it after you log in.

Bookmark the "Reload at TU" button
