Finding Books

Locate books by searching the NCSU Libraries online catalog (http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu). You can search for books by author, title, subject, and keyword.

Tutorial: How to Find Books the NCSU Libraries (http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/lobo2/search/books/)

Standardized subject headings are used for subject searches. For example, to find books about fitness and wellness, try some of the following subject headings:

Aerobic exercises
Exercise
Bodybuilding
Muscle strength
Diet
Nutrition
Dietary supplements
Physical fitness

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.

Once you identify books that you would like to borrow, you can obtain them through Interlibrary and Document Delivery Services. See Book & Article Delivery (http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/distance/delivery.html) for details.
