WorldCat Discovery Search Box

WorldCat Discovery: Books, Articles, Media

 

The above search box is for Butler Library resources.  It can be described as the "googlization" of the Library's catalog and selected databases because you can search for print books, ebooks, and journal articles all at once!  While not all of the Library's 200 databases are included in this tool, roughly half of them are.

To search WorldCat Discovery, type in key terms that identify your subject. Listed here are Library of Congress Subject Headings that you can type in to find books on these topics; however, remember that you will also pick up articles too!
