Finding Books in the Library

If you want to find books on a topic...

-In DUQSearch: Do an Advanced Search. Keyword searching allows you to search for individual words (or phrases) in the titles, subjects, tables of contents, and other fields in the catalog.

  • You can limit by dates, format (Book/Electronic Book, Sound Recording, etc.), language, and more. After searching, use the facets on the left hand side to adjust your search if necessary.
  • Once you've located one or more relevant books, you can click on the Subject links within the catalog record to find other related resources.
  • After you find a relevant book, check the location, call number, and availability. When you go to the stacks to find your book, make sure you browse nearby titles for more potentially relevant sources.
