How do I find materials?
Most of our rare materials are cataloged and can be located in the library's online discovery resource, OneSearch located on the libraries main page: https://www.baylor.edu/library/
The best way to find materials is to do your search in OneSearch, and then limit your results by the Library "Arts & Special Collections Research Center" or any other special collections you are interested in searching.
If you need to check on terms, we've put together a glossary for you.
