SI: Find Textbooks Using Onesearch

Do you need to find a textbook?  It's easy!

Just enter the title in the search box on the CSI Library homepage.  The default search is Onesearch, which searches in one place for books, articles, DVDs, CDs, and more.

Now let's try an example.  Please type "Introduction to Sociology" into the search box.

By now you should have entered the title and should have your search results on the right side.

As you can see, some of the older versions have the call number of the book, which is a combination of letters and numbers, listed in parenthesis after the location.  If your results indicate that there are multiple copies of your textbook, click on the title and write down the call number of the edition you need.

Once you have the call number give it to staff Circulation/Reserve Desk who will retrieve the book and lend it to you for two hours to be used in the Library. Some textbooks are available for three-days as well.
