Please note that the NCSU Libraries will not have some of the journals
indexed by these indexes and abstracts. To see if we have the journal
you need, use the NCSU Libraries catalog
to search for the journal title (not the title of the article).
Finding Books
Locate books by using the online catalogs for the NCSU Libraries or NCCU, UNC-CH, and Duke University libraries. Workstations in the D. H. Hill Library are located on the first floor, the ground floor Reading Room, and bookstack tower. You may also access the catalogs from your own office or home computer.
You can search for books by author, title, subject, and keyword.
Standardized subject headings are used for subject searches. For
example, to find books about forest entomology, use the following
subject headings:
-
Forest insects
Forest insects -- Biological control
Forest insects -- Control
Forest insects -- Identification
etc.
You can also search for groups of or individual insects, using scientific
or common names. For example:
-
Bark beetles
Spruce bark beetles
Wood borers
Dendroctonus
Dendroctonus frontalis
Southern pine beetle
If you know the title of a relevant book, you can search this title
in the online catalog, look at the subject headings used to index
it, and then search those subject headings for related books on the
topic.
If the NCSU Libraries does not have the book or journal that you
need, you can do one of the following:
-
Fill out an Interlibrary Loan request through Tripsaver. (Ask at the Reference Desk for assistance.) Through the Tripsaver service, books and articles from Duke, UNC-Chapel Hill and NCCU can be obtained within 2-3 days. Books and articles from other institutions will take longer to obtain.
-
Check out books from Duke, NCCU, or UNC-Chapel Hill.
NCSU students, faculty, and staff are eligible for borrowing
privileges at the libraries of three other major universities
in the Triangle--Duke University, NC Central University, and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, all members of the
Triangle Research Libraries Network. A valid NCSU ID is required
to establish privileges when visiting another TRLN library. You
may also be asked to access profile information in your NCSU library
account (i.e.,"My Borrowing Record") using a PIN number. The list
of participating libraries and information such as hours of operation,
directions, and circulation policies is available on the TRLN
web site. It is best to check this page for the policies of
the library you are visiting before making a trip there.
