NovaCat Search Tips:
Library Catalog (NovaCat) is the online library catalog for all NSU libraries. You will need to use the NovaCat Catalog to search for books.
- If you do not find any results, then check your spelling or the fields you searched in. Selecting different fields will produce different results.
- If you find too many results, go back and limit your search. Sometimes a search needs to be modified with additional search words, searching only a specific field, adding date limitations, or type of materials. You can search by keyword, author, title, etc.
- If you find too few results, go back and expand your search. Consider using synonyms for your search words or try to use professional language or terminology.
