Tips on Searching for Books

DiscoverE is Emory's main search tool to find print books and e-books, journals, videos, and other materials.  

Under the "Libraries" tab in on the library homepage, click on discoverE to do a simple search: 

  1. Type in your keywords.
  2. When you get some results, use "Refine My Results" on the left to narrow your search by author, item type, date, library, and more.
  3. Once you find a relevant book, click on the entry in discoverE.  Look to see how the book is classified by subject.  When you click on the subject link, you will see other items categorized under that subject heading.  You can also click on the author's name to see more materials by the same writer. 

Remember, you can always Ask a librarian for help! You can also consult the discoverE help page for further information.

To find electronic materials for remote learning and research:

  • Find online library materials for remote teaching and research:
    1. In discoverE, include “electronic resource” with the quotes in your search.
    2. In databases, limit your search to full text. Note that our full text access varies across the databases.
    3. If you need further assistance with locating materials such as e-books, streaming video, and articles in databases and e-journals, please get in touch.
