Finding books using Libraries Search

We offer ebooks, located in our databases, and physical books, located on our shelves. You can search for both using Libraries Search

For example, I am looking for a book called Liberation Day: Stories by George Saunders.

I begin at the library homepage and choose the Advanced Search option...

 

...because I already know a couple of things about what I want: the title and the author.

search for those two things together (read the underlined sentence at the bottom of the image)... 

 and come to this result, which shows that we have both an ebook and a physical book

 

Interlibrary Loan

No library owns everything!

If we don't have what you're looking for, we'll borrow it for you from another library:

  • books
  • book chapters
  • journal articles
  • conference papers
  • technical reports
  • theses
  • standards
  • patents

This is a FREE service provided by the SU Libraries through ILLiad, our automated interlibrary loan system. Some publications (e.g. journal articles) may be e-mailed directly to you as PDF files. Books need to be picked up at Bird Library.
