How do I find book on a particular topic?

To find books and other items in the Library, search the Library Catalogue

  • Just type in one or two words that describe your topic
  • Do not type in your essay title - just pick out the important words (keywords) and use those

If your search retrieves too many results, look at the Refine your search options on the left of the screen to narrow your results.

You can apply multiple limits if you wish to get very specific results - select and apply each one in turn.

What is a database?

A database is a collection of online journal articles. TUS Library subscribes to a number of databases across a variety of subject areas. Through the databases, you can access articles, eBooks, proceedings and other research material on your topic.
