EU/AGTS students may use the library computers or personal laptops, tablets or other devices connected to the university's wireless network to search for periodical articles (full text and abstracts), ebooks, and other resources in a variety of online databases that can be accessed through direct institutional Internet access. See our AtoZ list of subscribed databases.
In addition, current students (resident or distance) will be able to access most of these online resources from their home computers utilizing their EU ID and Password.
Some library computers provide access to Accordance Bible software.
Information concerning periodicals owned by the EU can be found by conducting a "Journal" title search in the online catalog. Journal records in the online catalog will indicate where specific volumes and issues of individual periodicals are located in the library.
Periodicals can be found in the following locations:
No library patron may remove these items from the library or "reserve" them for future use unless they receive special permission from a library administrator. However, they can make copies utilizing library equipment.
All library patrons have access to the library's Reference Section of the EU libraries (on the 1st floor of the AGTS library). These items have call numbers that begin with the letters "REF." Contents in the Reference collections include: General encyclopedias, subject encyclopedias, dictionaries, directories, bibliographies, statistical sources, atlases, Biblical language study tools, commentary sets, etc. Unpublished theses are shelved in this same area and have a call number beginning with "THESIS." No library patron may remove these items from the library or reserve them for future use unless they receive special permission from a library administrator.
If anyone wants to specifically search the library collection for dissertations or theses, there are a couple of options. A patron could simply add the term "thesis" to their string of terms in a keyword search to try to narrow their results down. The library staff also have provided a binder at the AGTS Circulation Desk that includes complete title lists of the "THESIS" collection, one list sorted by author name and the other by book call number.
DVDs, videocassettes, and audiocassettes can be found in the Automated Library System by performing speaker ("Author"), "Title," "Subject," or "Keyword" searches. Patrons may request a DVD, videocassette, or audiocassette by call number at the library’s Circulation Desk. These materials may either be used in the library or checked out by EU/AGTS patrons according to the established Circulation Policies.
