Find Print Books in the Library

Use the Library Catalog to locate books in the library on your topic:

  • Perform a word or phrase search using keywords such as "travel tourism" or "travel AND tourism." Word or phrase searches will search the entire records of all the items in the catalog, including author, title, and subject areas.
  • Perform a subject search using a keyword such as "organic chemistry" to search for items on a specific topic.

 

The Library maintains a small collection of text book resources as well. Check our reserves collection for the latest editions.
