Limiting results to books
To search for a book, enter the title, author, or subject into the QuickSearch search box. Use the filters to the left of your search results to limit your search by resource type or availability. Select Held by library to find print books available at the library. Select Available online to find ebooks that can be read online. In cases where the library has more than one edition, you may see multiple versions of the book grouped together. To search for books only, you can also select books under "Resource Type" on the upper right corner in the "search criteria box".
