Search for books

TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN SEARCHING IN THE CATALOG:

  • Search by "BEST MATCH" to ensure the most relevant results to your search appear near the top.
  • Limit your searches by "FORMAT" on the left side of the search page.
  • When you find items you'd like to use in your research, be sure to see what SUBJECT TERMS were used

Found it in the catalog? Use the call number locator to find it in the building

Call Number Locator: The call number of a library item is like a home address. Copy and paste any call number you find in the library catalog to see where it lives in the library.
