Searching by Title

Using the full title or the beginning of a title, you may search for all types of material in the catalog, including:

  • books
  • journals
  • magazines
  • newspapers
  • videos
  • government documents
  • maps
  • music
You will not find titles of journal articles in the catalog, only titles of journals.

If you don't find the title you're looking for, try a word search, or an author search.

Sometimes the catalog will refer you to different forms of a title, or to author/title entries. Be sure to follow these cross references if you wish to see additional items, or if you are searching for music:

Rite of spring -- see  Stravinsky, Igor, 1882-1971. Vesna sviashchennaia
