How to find books

Summary

The key things to remember about finding books are:

• use Basic Search when searching in the library catalogue
• if you're looking for a particular book, use the author's family name, and one or two words from the title
• note down the full location and call number of the book
• use subject headings to find more books on your topic
• try a few words from your topic when searching - do NOT type in your whole question
• other libraries may hold books that Monash doesn't
• always evaluate what you find
• acknowledge what you've read

If you need more help contact the library.
