The JET Library contains over 100,000 items, this includes not only books but videos/DVD's, instructional materials, and more.

From the Library homepage, simply type your title or keyword(s) into the box. Select "Library Catalog" from the drop-down menu then click the magnifying glass.

Note: For ebooks, it is best to select "Everything" from the drop-down as some ebooks are in electronic collections (Articles & more) and others are in the Library Catalog.

From your result list, find the book that you are looking for. Click on the Title - or Availability link of the book to see the full record. This will show you if the book is available, what collection it is in (circulating, reference, etc.) and the Call Number

Finding Books within the Library:

• Every book has a call number. The Library's collection is arranged by the Library of Congress Classification and the call number will be a combination of letters and numbers.
• If the location indicates it is available and in the Circulating Collection, the book can be checked out.
• Login to place a hold on the book for pick up when you come to the library.
• If the location is listed as Reference or Reserves, the item can only be viewed on the library premises (i.e. it cannot be checked out).
• Use the Mapit Feature and/or the Library Floor Plan to assist you in locating your book once you have the call number.

The search option you use will depend on what you already know:

• By Title - if you know the exact title of the book
• By Author - if you know the name of the author (be sure to enter it last name, first name)
• By Subject - if you want to look at all the books under a specific category (often a good place to start if you're not sure of your topic)
• By Keyword - if you want to find a specific word or phrase in any part of a book's catalog record.
