Finding Print and Online Books in the Milne Library

Follow these step-by-step instructions to search for print books currently available in the Milne Library.

  1. Navigate to the James M. Milne Library Homepage (https://libguides.oneonta.edu/home).
  2. Select the "Advanced Search" Tab, then select "Milne Search" which will produce results of *almost* everything that we have access to in the Milne Library, including print books, online books, articles, book reviews, academic videos, etc.
  3. Use Boolean search logic to search for resources on your topic. 
    • Note: Separate your search topics in different lines and use the AND OR NOT operators to combine your search terms.  
  4. Select Books or Book Chapters as Material Type, then select the date range that is applicable to your class assignment, and then select the "Search" button. 
  5. Sign-In to the Library by selecting the yellow "Sign-in" box, to show you the entire results list available to you.
  6. Once you see your results list:
    • If you only want to see print books that are currently held in the library (i.e.: physical books), select "Held by Library," and then "Apply Filters" in the 'Refine your Results' menu.
    • If you are able to use online books (eBooks) for your assignment, select "Available Online," and then "Apply Filters" in the 'Refine your Results' menu.

Note: If you are not able to find a book you are looking for, try adding a broader search term. If you have too many results, try adding some more specific search terms. Always remember, your library is here for you, and we can help you find books for your assignments, reach out to us and ask for help!
