A guide to help you find library resources for English literature and writing

Getting Started

The first step in finding resources for any assignment is knowing how to use the library catalogue.

Here are some tips for how to search for books and other physical items in the library, and how to request items from another library if we don't have the books you need.

Here are some videos that show you step-by-step how to search for books and articles, how to place a hold on an item you need that is signed out, and how to renew items you still need.
