How to Find a Book in the Library Catalog

The library has hundreds of thousands of print books on all different topics, including:

~ Academic, subject-specific books (for instance physiology, psychology, biology, history, geography, the environment, music scores, philosophy, calculus, art, etc.)

~ Poetry

~ Popular Fiction

~ Classic Literature

~ Young Adult

~ Graphic Novels

The Library Catalog is the best place to start when searching for books.  From the library's main page, click Advanced, and at the top, choose Library Catalog.

After you do your search, you can use the Availability and Resource Type facets on the left to narrow your results to print books or e-books.

 

You should always sign in, as this will allow you to access e-books, save items to your folder, etc.:

When you find a book you'd like to check out, you will need the location and call number to find it on the shelf.

Most physical (print) materials can be checked out for the whole semester at the Circulation Desk on the first floor.  All you need is your ID!  A few collections, such as Special Collections and the Reference Collection, do not circulate but can be used in the Library.
