To begin your library search, go to the library home page and enter terms into the search box.

The initial list of results in library search is Books+ which includes books, ebooks, CDs, DVDs, online videos, government documents, dissertations and more.

In Articles+, you are able to limit your results from the selections under Availability, such as Peer-reviewed Journals or Full Text Online.
Topic allows you to choose a more specific area within a broad topic. This will limit results to a subset related to the topic selected.
Physical items, such as books or DVDs, will have a Location and a Call Number. Look for Available at for the item’s location; in these examples, Media Services for the DVD and Howard-Tilton Stacks for the book. The call number is a combination of letters and numbers which tell you where the book can be found.
For items in Howard-Tilton Stacks, use the Call Number Floor Guide to determine which floor the book will be shelved:
Call Number | Floor |

BH - DA | 4 |
DB - LT | 3 |
M - NX | 6 |
P - PF | 3 |
PG - QD | 2 |
