Use what we call the Catalog to search the Library's physical and some of our digital collections. The catalog helps you locate books and ebooks, videos, articles, and streaming media available in the Library or online using your Library account. The catalog can also be used to search collections at our partner academic libraries throughout Illinois and the United States.

Begin by doing a simple keyword search for your topic, an author, or title. You can then refine results by material type or location.

If you can't find what you need using our Catalog, try using our databases to locate additional online items such as articles and additional ebooks.

To learn more about using the catalog, see our Using the Catalog guide.
