How do I find a book?

 

Search for a book in OneSearch (the library catalog)

All books can be found by searching in OneSearch from the library's home page.

Choose Advanced Search, and set the button to search for Books & Media

The basic search is a keyword search (words that you choose), and the advanced search lets you target by title, author, or library subject heading as well.

OneSearch also has limiters that will let you target locations within the library, such as the children's collection (CMC) and popular reading collection.

Find a book in the library

Now that you have a call number, wondering where to find it?

Look for the location in all caps next to the call number (MAIN STACKS, for example) to see where your book is located, and check the building directory to find that location in the library building, or check our book location FAQ for a list of catalog locations and where to find them.
