To find books and media that our library owns, use the Books & Media tab on our homepage, or search for everything with the Search All option.
Start with one or two keywords, adding quotation marks ("") around concepts with more than one word: for example, "African American" or "music theory"... quotes are not needed for single words, such as crime or intonation.
Narrow your results using the limits on the left side of the results page. If you only want ebooks, choose the Available Online option. If you only want to see print books, choose Physical Items.
When you've found a book that looks interesting, click the title to learn more about it, or (if it's Available), write down the location and call number and head to the shelves to get it! If it says Available Online, you're looking at an ebook and can access it directly, with no download required!
Everything you find should be available either as a physical copy or electronic format. If you find a physical book but only need a chapter, you can request a scan.
While searching the catalog, you'll find a number of books and videos with a location of Internet Resource, and a link in place of the call number.
Simply follow the link ('Click here for full text', 'View Streaming Video', etc.) to access the online version of these books and videos.
You will need to log in to view these items from off campus (and on campus, for videos). If you are having trouble, contact the reference desk for assistance (973-720-2116; refdesk@wpunj.edu).
