How to Search for Books on a Topic

Looking at your results:

In this sample screen of results,

The first column has a number in it – you can click on this number to get more details about each book in the list. One important detail you can get is a list of the Library of Congress Subject Headings that have been assigned to each book. These subject headings can lead you to more books that have been assigned those same headings.
The second column has empty boxes in it – you can click in any of these boxes to add book titles to an online “Bookbag,” which you can print out or email to yourself. This feature is especially useful if you have a long list of results and want to select just a few of the books from the list to go find on the shelf.
The “Author”column tells you the author’s name.
The “Title” column tells you the book’s title.
The “Year” column tells you in what year the book was published.
The “Call Number” column gives you the specific location in the library where you can find the book (more on this later). It also tells you if the book is a Circulating book (one that can be checked out) or a Reference book (one that can only be used in the library).
The “Campus” column tells you which campus(es) own the book. The numbers in parentheses after the campus name tell you how many copies of that title the campus owns, and whether or not it is checked out. For example, if you see something that says (1/0), that means the campus owns ONE copy of that title, and ZERO copies are checked out.
The “Ext. Note” and “Ext. Link” columns may provide links to other web pages (usually a Library of Congress web site) that give more information about the book, such as a table of contents.
