Library's Online Catalog

Use our online catalog to find books and government documents that are physically located in the library. At the Quick Search search screen (http://www.uwrf.edu/library/research/), enter your search terms just as you would in an Internet search engine such as Google. When results come up, they will be in order of relevance, NOT DATE.

TIPS:

If you have trouble locating relevant resources, try to make your topic broader. For example, if I had trouble finding material on "acid rain ," I could broaden my search to "air pollution."

If you have trouble finding a book using the LC Call Numbers, see me or look at this explanation.

If you have trouble locating a book on your topic, please ask me for help.
