Tips for searching the library catalog

Searching for books

Bearcat Search allows you to search for books by author, title, subject, or keyword.  

Locating books on the shelf

Every library book has a unique call number, ex. The pen and the sword: press, war, and terror in the 21st century's call number is PN4784.T45 E96 2010. This is the book's physical address. You match up the call number in the catalog with the label on the spine of the book you wish to retrieve.

  • PN (First you find the P's. They will be arranged alphabetically: PAs, PBs, etc., so you'll look for the PNs)
  • 4784 (The PNs will be arranged numerically: PN1, PN2, PN3, etc, so you'll find PN4784)
  • Proceed in alphabetical/numerical order through the rest of the call # until you reach the book on the self.
