Schedule a Meeting

Hello! At this time, we are using Microsoft Teams for our meeting platform. Instructions on how to join the meeting will be emailed on the day of the meeting. Let me know if you prefer to chat through email. When you click to schedule an appointment, you'll see my availability!

Discovery Search is how you'll look for books, articles, videos, and more from the library website. Below are short tutorials to help you understand how to filter search results to books (print or eBook formats), journal articles, videos, and more options.

Discovery is a great place to begin your research!  Use specialized databases for more in-depth research. View the links on the left for relevant database lists and the tutorials below to get started.

If you are coming to the library in person:

During the regular semester, the library is open seven days a week. Certain days and times are designated as card swipe access only. You MUST have a TNU ID to enter the library during those designated times.

  • Access to the main library entrance via card swipe will be required starting at 5:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and all day Saturday and Sunday during the fall and spring semesters.
  • The library's ground floor entrance has card swipe access during library hours.

Doctoral Study Rooms

Doctoral study rooms are reservable. Click here to reserve a room by day and time. Then, when you arrive at the library, check in with student workers at the Library Services Desk to find out the key to the room reserved. You'll need your TNU ID or Driver's License to check out. Don't forget to return the key when done. 

Because these rooms are only short-term, personal and library materials will not be left in the study rooms after the key has been returned to the Circulation Desk. View the video below to see how to reserve a doctoral study room. 

The Technology Lending Library

If you need headphones, a laptop, charging cables, a tabletop whiteboard, markers/erasers, or ring lights for videoing, the Technology Lending Library can help. The Information Desk has these, plus many more gadgets and technology items to check out to use in the library.  Some can be checked out for several days. View more information about our Technology Lending Library here! 

Other Study Rooms

Other study rooms are reserved for 3-hour time increments.

Each room has a whiteboard wall. Markers and cleaning solution is checked out from the Information Desk
