THAR 2361 - McCollum - Fall 2024: Find Books and eBooks

Find Books, eBooks, DVDs, and Streaming Videos

From the UIW Libraries' homepage, use the Books+ tab to search for a title, a subject, or an author.

Use the "Resource Type" filter on the left to find only eBooks or Streaming Videos, for example. You will need to use your usual UIW credentials to view these resources if you are off-campus.

Quick Search Tips

Browse, Boolean, and Persistence

Browse through the results to find more keywords - keep them for later or add them to your search.  Use Boolean operators (and, or, not) to combine your ideas together.  Searching takes time and multiple searches in order to find the right materials.  If you're still stuck, contact us.

Use main ideas, quotes around phrases, and boolean operators to find items on your topic.

 

Limit your results using the filters and then apply filters.

Using the Browse Feature in the Book Catalog

The book catalog includes a browse feature.  Follow these steps to access it.

When you find a title that interests you, click the title link for the book.
