Find Books with Quick Search

Quick Search will find both ebooks and books available through the University Library.

Searches using the box above are filtered to show only books but there are more filters you can apply to narrow down your results on the right side of the page.

Tips

Searching for biographies

• Name searches will be more successful.
• Not all of our books on "women scientists" or "women engineers" are well described in the catalog. Searching for "women in [discipline name]" will work better but still won't catch everything. 
• If you want to browse, try one of these pre-programmed searches but beware: they're not perfect. 
  • Subject is (exact): "scientists biography" AND [any field] contains "women"
  • Subject is (exact): "engineers biography" AND [any field] contains "women"
  • Subject is (exact): "physicians Biography" AND [any field] "contains women"

Use Topics and Advanced Search to improve results

• Use the Topic filters on the right side of the search page to narrow or expand your results; pay attention to the number in parenthesis, it indicates how many results match the topic. 
• Advanced Search can be toggled using the button near the search bar. Most of the options for Advanced Search are also available as filters, but not all of them.
