Our online front door is open.
Your TU NetID is your all-access pass.
Our most up-to-date resources are online, waiting. Start your search from our library homepage to take full advantage of our online resources.
You can also visit our University Archives to search or browse our archives and special collections, unique to Towson University.
You can log in before you search by selecting "Sign In" and "Off Campus? Sign in" from the top right menu.
Start with Cook OneSearch, in the middle of our library homepage. It's a basic yet comprehensive option
- You can search by keyword phrase, like climate change.
- You can search by title, too. Wrap it in quotation marks, like "Baltimore: A Political History".
- To show just online results, you can check "Full Text" on the left. We recommend using more filters and trying different keywords too.
- We're happy to help. See Ask a librarian for ways to get in touch. For quick questions, chat with us during research help chat hours.
