Library Catalog Search Tips
Search for books on your topic in the library catalog. Use only the most essential words related to your topic.
- Not enough results? Try related terms, or more general terms -- for example, instead of poodles, try dogs.
- Too many results? Be more specific -- for example, instead of computers, try social media AND privacy.
- Put the word AND between search terms; communication AND leadership
- In your list of results, check the menu on the left for ways to filter your results, such as by availability, library, or publication date.
- eBooks are accessible through the catalog. To limit your results to eBooks, look for the "Availability" filter from your search results page and select "Available Online". Within the eBook record, click the link for 'Full text availability' to access the eBook.
- Select 'Request Item' to have books from other NOVA campus libraries sent to the NOVA campus library of your choice for pick up.
