Check out the tutorial below to optimize your research using the library's Discovery Search. All that is required to view library tutorials is an Internet connection; don't forget to turn on your sound! For more tutorials, view the Waggoner Library Tutorials Guide. The video below is a general overview of the library's Discovery Search. It's a great place to begin research, but there is so much more!
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.
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.
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
