The library catalog allows us to search all of the library's holdings by keyword, subject, author, and title. 

Enter a word in the top search box and pull up everything the library has that mentions the keywords you used OR you can refine your search with the advanced options. View the video below for an example of how to search for a book in our catalog:

2. Too few results? Go back and expand your search by using synonyms or related terms.

3. Too many results? Go back and use the advanced search filters to limit your search.
