If you already know the title or the author of the book you are looking for, click on the link "Advanced Search". From the drop-down menu select the type of information you want to search for (Author, Title, Subject terms, Publisher, ISBN/ISSN, Publish dates) and click Search".

In Advanced Search, you can also COMBINE fields for the best results!

Note down the call number of the books you are interested in. Now you are ready to find the books on the shelves! If you have any problem, ask a librarian!
