Finding Books

  Books in the Library Building

University libraries are organized differently than public libraries. In a university library browsing will not be the best way for you to find books on your topic. Example: You are looking for a book on Modernism. You will find books in N (Fine Art), NK (Decorative Arts), NA (Architecture), etc. Within each of those there are subclasses of information. It's complex! It is best to search the library catalog and write down the call number and title of the books that you think best meet your needs. 

 Library Search 

"Library Search" will search almost all of the library's databases. This will search Jstor, so no need to search that seperately.
