Searching For Books In Library Search

Library Search is our library's online catalog. To find books in the library, use this Catalog. You can also find databases, journals, documents and other type resources from it as well. Here is the info as to how to use it:

From the Catalog tab in Library Search :

Type in your keywords
When you get some results, use "Refine Search Results" on the left to narrow your search by author, item type, date and more.

Too many search results?

Add additional terms to your search
Limit your search by item type, exact phrase, and/or author/title/subject using Library Search's drop-down menus
Use Library Searchs "Refine Search Results" feature (in the left column)

Too few results?

Remove some terms from your search
Add synonyms using OR [in upper case] with parentheses - for example (women OR woman OR female)

Other Library Catalogs

If you can't find the book you need from our library, that's not the end of it. You can continue your search at WorldCat, the online catalog of books and other materials held by the libraries almost all over the world. You can retrieve the book you found from WorldCat through Interlibrary Loan.

Worldcat
Another catalog you can use is GIL, which stands for GALILEO Interconnected Libraries for the University System of Georgia.

Getting Books Emory does Not Own

Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a borrowing service for Emory students, faculty, and staff. If a book, an article, a DVD, or any other resource that you need is not owned by Emory, the ILL team will try to get a copy from another library for you. It is a free service, but it will take about two weeks to diliever the material to you. So, start your research earlier just in case you need to use this service.
