Books are ideal sources for information when you are looking for in-depth coverage on a subject, the history or chronology of a topic, or overview of a big idea. (Hint: a book doesn't need to be read cover-to-cover to be used for research. Determine how appropriative of useful the book will be by reading the table of contents or summary!)

For more information on how to find books using the library's catalog, visit the library's guide to OneSearch.

OneSearch is the library's main search interface, where you can find almost all the resources the library has to offer. This video will demonstrate some of the key features of OneSearch.

Are you looking for something we don’t have? We can get it for you! You can access all kinds of materials from other libraries through CSU+ and our resource sharing program. Search all of the CSU libraries and other lending libraries using OneSearch and easily place requests directly by clicking Get it.
