Books
Books, videos, and dvds can be found in the OSU-Tulsa Library Catalog by author, title, keyword, or
subject heading. Keyword searching allows you to AND terms together to produce a more focused list
of available books.
You may want to check the Library of Congress Subject Headings Reference Z695 .Z8 L524 for a
comprehensive list of terms to search in the Online Catalog.
Once you have identified a book you want, note the location and entire call number to identify where
the book is located in the Library.
We also have approximately 40,000 full-text electronic books. These can be found through the Catalog
or by going to the Library Website and clicking on Books, etc. and Electronic Book Collections. To view

Databases
A full-text database provides full-text access to periodical, journal, and magazine articles. In most cases all you need to
do is print out the article.
From the Library Webpage, click on Journals / Databases, click on Journals by Subject, and then click on General or a
Broad Subject.
Each database is designed so that you can usually search by keyword, subject, author, title or article, and/or title or the
periodical. You also can limit by date as well as other parameters.
An index database provides a citation to the article, i.e. title of article, author, journal title, volume and issue number, page
number, and date. You should check other databases for possible full-text coverage. You may need to consult the Catalog
or Journals by Title to determine if the journal isowned by OSU-Tulsa Library in paper or microfiche.
