How do I find books on my topic?
Answer
To find books on a topic, follow these steps:
- Go to the Search Collections box on the library homepage.
- Enter keywords pertaining to your topic.
- Use the dropdown menu to select Library Catalog. (optional)
- Search.
- Use the filters to limit your results. For example:
- Choose Available Online to see eBooks only.
- Choose Books to remove other resource types.
- Change the date range if you want recent books only.
If your first search does not yield good results, try again with different keywords. Think of synonyms or other ways to name your topic.
