How do I search for a book in the Library?
Answer
Use the gray search box labeled OneSearch in the center of the screen at the TTU Libraries. This will allow you to locate books and other items available in the Library. Type the title, author, or topic keyword, then click on the the looking glass icon or hit enter to run the search.
When viewing the results, under Refine my results, select the "Available in the Library" link to limit your search to only items in the University Library collection, such as books, and audio-visual materials. The call numbers listed next to an item will tell you its location in the building. Be sure to look at which library the book is in as there are four options: University Library, Architecture Library, Southwest Special Collections, and Law Library. Also check to make sure there is Available at before the call numbers, which indicates the item is on the shelf.
5. From the screenshot above we can see we are looking for a book titled Global Warming with the call number of University Library Stacks (Floor 4) QC 981. 8. G56 L66 2004 which is the location of the book in the library. University Library lets you know which building and Stacks lets you know what part of that building the book is located. Stacks is on the west side of the University Library so use the west elevators closes to the computers on the ground floor. Once you get on the Stacks floor 4, use the number to navigate first by alpha then numerically. If you can't find it, let us know. Come back to a desk on the ground floor or use the Ask a Librarian service to get assistance.
