Pardon Our Noise

We wish to apologize for construction noise in the building. The library is currently undergoing renovations to increase the safety of the building. Please look at the Cornette Library Maintenance and Renovations Libguide for more information.

Door Closure: Due to the construction, the east entrance of the library and portions of the east lawn (facing 26th Street and Centennial Hall) are currently closed. Please use the south entrance until further notice. Note: The Overnight Book Drop is out of service due to the closure. If you are unable to return your books during business hours, please contact Access Services at (806) 651-2215.

Although no single location in the Cornette Library houses a specific collection for genealogical research, we do offer a variety of printed and online sources throughout the Library that may prove useful for finding information on your ancestors and the times and places in which they lived. The purpose of this guide is to acquaint you with these sources. The guide is arranged by area of the Library - Reference, Periodicals, Special Collections, Government Documents, and Loan (books). If you have questions, please stop by one of the help desks in the Library or call the Research & Access Desk at (806) 651-2215.
