Although the vast majority of books owned by the library are housed within the building, TCU has also acquired several thousand electronic books accessible through the netLibrary web database.

Books automatically return themselves.
The two primary newspaper collections are Academic Universe and Dow Jones Interactive . Either database will provide several years worth of the full-text of major U.S. and international newspapers. For help searching specific regional newspapers, please contact the Reference Desk. If you locate the title of a book that the TCU library does not own, it may be possible to locate or obtain a copy from another library in the Metroplex. Alternatively, it is possible to do a search of several thousand library catalogs simultaneously by using the WorldCat database.
