Find a book by topic

  1. Enter keywords on the topic you are interested in.
  2. On the results list screen, change the Everything drop-down to UWGB Books, media & more for items available at UWGB campuses or UW Libraries Books, media & more to include items that can be sent from other libraries in the UW System. Press enter to make the changes.

  3. If you want, limit to Books under Resource Type to eliminate videos and other material types.

  4. Select your campus location under Library if you only want to see items available where you are.

  5. Click on the title of the book to learn more about it and where to find it.

Find a specific book

  1. Enter as much identifying information as you have about the book (for example: title, author, ISBN)

  2. Click on the title of the book, then on Details to verify that you found the right one.
  3. If your book doesn't appear at the top of the list, try limiting the Resource Type to Books.
  4. If it still doesn't show up, Ask a Librarian for help.
