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: The South entrance of the library will temporarily be closed on Monday, 12/8/25, due to installation of the walk-off carpet. Please use the East entrance while the South entrance is closed. The South entrance will be re-opened before Kickback starts at 6 pm. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

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.
