How do I find books for my topic?

Answer

You can begin searching the library's Discovery search box directly from the Libraries' home page. This box searches the library catalog as well as many of the Libraries' databases.  If you'd like to search just the catalog, there's a link for Catalog, just below the Discovery search box. 

If don't have an exact book or journal title you are looking for, you can type keywords into the Discovery search box and press enter. You will be able to limit your search just like you do at Amazon by selecting from the choices in the left-hand column.

Once you find the information for a book that interests you, make note of its call number, location, and availability, so that you can find it on the shelf using the call number.
