*Visitors' guide to the GTU library*

Librarians are eager to help guide you in your research via chat, email, and Zoom appointments. 

Common questions include (but aren't limited to): 

• Am I using the right search strategy? 
• I have an assignment/paper and I'm not sure where to start.
• What other databases could I be searching? 
• How do I download an e-book or e-book chapter? 
• How do I use Zotero? 

Other ways you can get help: 

• Browse our video tutorials.
• Browse helpful guides. 
• Attend a workshop

The Graduate Theological Union Library welcomes patrons of all ages.  However, the Libraries is not responsible for the safety of children left unattended in any part of the Libraries. If necessary, Libraries staff will take appropriate action upon discovering unattended children. Actions may include contacting parents.  

Although there is no children's section, patrons are welcome to ask for scratch paper at the desk for doodling, drawing and writing. Curious about what a library has to offer? Here are some basic introductions:
