Searching for Books

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

  1. You may use Boolean operators AND, OR or NOT to link or exclude concepts. Note: AND, OR and NOT must be capitalized!
  2. 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.)  
  3. 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!

 

Finding Books

ISU Library Quick Search - Books Only

Most business books are located on the 3rd floor of Parks Library with the call numbers HA - HJ. You can search for them in the Library's Quick Search box.

Quick Search will provide limited access to journal articles, but you will find more relevant results looking in the business databases listed in the "Finding Articles" tab.

Parks Library has open stacks, meaning that you retrieve your own books. Maps for the Library can be found here.
