Online Books & Articles
Databases A-Z is a list of our databases, electronic indexes of journals and articles. Use the databases to find articles, books and more. Access them On-Campus or Off-Campus. Many articles are full-text. If you can't find the full-text, we can get it from another library through inter-library loan (ILL). We offer one-on-one and in-class instruction on using the databases. For help, contact the Tech Librarians.
eJournals are popular and scholarly journals that are available electronically on- and off-campus.
eBooks are books that are available electronically on- and off-campus.
In-House Books & Articles
Book Catalogs has links to the Montana Tech catalog, which contains both print and electronic resources. Print books are on the second floor, arranged according to the Library of Congress classification system. Use the catalog to get the call number on the book, then look at the end of each aisle to see which call numbers are shelved there. Print journals are arranged alphabetically on the first floor. Reference resources, like handbooks, standards, and dictionaries are also on the first floor.
To borrow Books or Journals, see Borrow & Renew from Tech.

- If it's your first time, bring your requests to the library.
- Open an InterLibrary Loan account and send the request.
