Philosophy: Find Books/eBooks & Media

What is WorldCat?

If you cannot locate a book in UIW Libraries' Catalog, you might find that another library in San Antonio has it. This system is the same one that we use to find books for Interlibrary Loan requests.

WorldCat is the world's largest library catalog, helping you find library materials online. It allows you to search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world.

Find in a library with WorldCat

 

 

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.

Tweak Results

To find eBooks and streaming videos, use the limiters on the left. Books are considered scholarly sources, though they are not peer-reviewed. Ebooks and streaming videos must be cited and the APA citations can be located in the databases where they are found.
