Finding Resources:

Our main library search tool is called Primo. When you search here you'll find books, ebooks, newspapers, academic journals, streaming videos, and other documents included in the library collection. Try it out here.

You can also browse your list of databases to find subject-specific articles.

Each database will have a description underneath so that you can choose the correct one for your topic.

To search the TCTC book catalog, head to library.tctc.edu/primo, type your search term in the search box, and select "TCTC library catalog only" from the drop-down that appears.
