Library FAQs

 

  • Where do I go to search for periodical articles, book reviews, and essays?
    Use FirstSearch or the Tennessee Electronic Library. For theological topics, the best database is usually the ATLA Religion Index on FirstSearch.

  • Can I renew materials without coming to the library?
    Yes, but only once and only if they're not already overdue. Call the library or renew online using the library catalog.

  • What is my patron ID number?
    It is the number on the barcode on the back of your student ID or library card.

  • Who can get a library card?
    Current students, faculty, staff, and alumni of MTS can receive a library card with no charge. Other persons wishing to obtain a library card may purchase one for $25 per year.
