Begin your search for books in the Library catalog. With the keyword search, which is the default search method, you can search by book title, subject, or author. On the results page you will see the books that fit your search. The image below is an example of the results for a book that comes in both print and electronic formats. Please read the red writing for how to access and request the books of your choice.
If you click on the title of a book on the results page (above), you will be taken to the catalog record for that book.
Below is the catalog record for the ebook above. As you can see, you can connect to the ebook by clicking the link "Access via OpenAthens".
Note the number of concurrent users (in circle). This ebook has unlimited users, which means there are no restrictions to the number of people who can access the book at the same time. However, there are books that have fewer users allowed at once, or sometimes even just one user at a time. If you try to access an ebook and are not able to, please check the catalog record to see if there is a limit to the number of users at a time. If there is, please try again later. If not, please contact the library at tuc.library@tu.edu.

If it is a print book, you can request to check it out through curbside pickup or mailing. *See our current services on the Library website homepage for details on requesting a book for curbside pickup or mailing.*
PLEASE NOTE: If the Library has only one print copy on Reserve, it will be made available for curbside check-out only for a 2-day check out; it will not be available for mailing. Any reserve materials for which the Library has more than 1 print copy, will be available for mailing with a one week check-out.
