How do I find a book or E-book?

Answer

Using the search box of the library homepage, search and find print and electronic books (ebooks) from all UC libraries as well as OhioLINK. The catalog also includes other types of materials such as videos, music scores, kits, etc.


Enter Search Terms

You can enter keywords, author's name, a specific title or subject. We'll use the Everything option for this example. Click Go to see your results.
