Introduction

Search Tips

Quick Search records include a brief description and location information for books, journals, and other items owned by the Library. You will also find records for individual articles. We recommend you choose an article index to search for journal articles, rather than using Quick Search.

Search Tips

You may use Boolean operators AND, OR or NOT to link or exclude concepts. Note: AND, OR and NOT must be capitalized!
If you are searching for books, use Tweak my results on the right of your search results page and choose Books under Format Type. Alternatively, use Quick Search's Advanced Search and choose Books under the Material Type drop-down menu. (Remember you will need to get the call number of your book to find it in the Library.)
To find ebooks, follow tip 2 above and then use Tweak my results to select Full Text Online under Availability. Use your ebook's Online access link to open and read the book!

Featured e-Books

More full-text, electronic books are available! You can also find specific electronic books by using the Quick Search box to the left. Tip: add the phrase "electronic books" to your search to locate books that are available electronically. For more tips - see the library help page for locating books.
