HUMN 3431 - Introduction to Digital Humanities: Find Books

Search for Books in the Catalog

To find books and other materials housed in the library, use the Library's catalog. The GIL-Find Catalog allows you to search for Books, eBooks, DVDs, and other materials housed in our libraries. 



Can't find what you need? 
To identify materials held at other USG Libraries, select "University System of Georgia" from the drop-down menu when searching. Use our Gil-Express service to have materials sent to Zach S. Henderson Library.


Still can't find what you need? To identify materials beyond our library, use the WorldCat (at OCLC FirstSearch) and our Interlibrary Loan services. 

Tips for Searching

Think of the best keywords to enter and be ready to change them as you pursue your topic. Try using a subject encyclopedia or dictionary for specialized terminology. Get ideas for new keywords by carefully examining the subject fields in your first results.

Try these search features:

  • Use quotes to search for phrases (example: "Dissolution of the Monasteries”)
     
  • Use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to broaden or narrow your search
     
  • Use truncation (example: archiv* will find archive, archives, archival, archivist)
     
  • Sort results by date or relevance
     
  • Browse subject headings
