Books and E-Books

Books can provide a very comprehensive view of a topic, e.g. art history

Search the UL catalog to find books, thesis, DVDs, maps, and more.

  • Start with a keyword search to find a book on your topic
  • When you find a good title, follow the subject headings for more books on the topic

TIPS:

  • Take note of the location of the book (Engineering, Jafet, Medical, Science)
  • Take note of the call number this is how you will locate the book on the shelf (e.g.:J 709.5691:A989m).
  • Take note of the current status: If there is a due date listed instead of "available" that means the book is checked out to another person.  But you can request the book back.
