Finding Books

Books only tab chosen

Choose the "Books Only" tab and search by keyword, author, title, or call number.  Note that this search will search books worldwide.  This may be especially useful if you wish to request the book via Interlibrary Loan (free to students) by using the "Request It" button. 

Finding Materials in Other Languages

Choose "limit by language" in the "refine results" section on the left.

To find items in a specific language, do your search in the library catalog and click the language you'd like in the "Limit by Language" section on the left hand side.  Try searching in both English and the language you'd like to find.  You can also limit by source type if you are looking for books, articles, etc.
