For the most part this guide has focused on resources located in either the Perry-Castenada Library, or the Undergraduate Library. These are the two largest libraries on campus, and for many topics you will be able to complete your research without going beyond these two collections. 

You should be aware, however, of the wealth of resources, contained in various special collections both on-campus, and off. This list provides just a hint of the possibilities. To learn more contact the libraries listed directly.
