Looking for ESL classes?

NOTE: If you have found this page from Google, or other search engine, and are looking for classes from the ELS Center at St. Thomas, please call 651-962-5990, or visit the website below. (Please don't call or email me--I am not connected to this program and cannot assist people with it.)

    ESL is Worldwide!

  Off-Campus Access

With very few exceptions, UST Libraries resources are available from off-campus.  You will be asked to enter your UST username/password.  This is the username you use for your UST email, not your Banner ID. 

Introduction

Use CLICnet to search for books.  There is a "quick" search box below to get your started.  If you are looking for a specific book (or other known item), type the title in the box, ignoring initial articles.  For a specific author, type the last name first.  If St. Thomas doesn't own an item you are looking for, but another CLIC library does, click on the "requst item" check mark to request it.  If you are unable to find a specific item in CLICnet, you migth search the WorldCat database, and request items from it on interlibrary loan (ILLiad).

CLICsearch

LibrarySearch is the library catalog of six private colleges and universities in the Twin Cities, including Saint Thomas. Books from other campuses can be requested online and delivered to the St. Thomas library of your choice..
