Getting Started

Users may browse the collections, or can search for a specific item by searching the SMU Library Catalog. The catalog record provides a call number for locating the item on the shelf. Most materials are shelved by subject, except for periodicals, which are shelved alphabetically by title. Materials in the basement or on the first floor may be used anywhere in the library.

To access items identified as Special Collections, Special Reference, or Methodist Reference, please request the item through the Circulation or Reference staff.
