You can search for books by title, keyword, or author name using the Smart Search searchbar on the library's home page.

Please note that the library is transitioning to a fully digital collection; although we no longer have a physical collection, hundreds of thousands of ebooks continue to be available to you through our catalog. Physical books from other universities can still be requested through our Interlibrary Loan service: https://nu.libwizard.com/f/ill-book


To limit your search to books, click the Books option below the bar before clicking the Search button.
