Searching for Books to Use

Use the OSU Library Catalog to find books. Just a hint, when you are searching for books, you are really searching a RECORD for a book. You are searching the titles, tables of contents, and subjects.

Use Worldcat@OSU to locate books we don't have in our catalog, this is research database that searches many library collections at once, and you would do this after you have tried using our catalog. You can borrow books we don't have via Interlibrary Loan.
