Finding Books in the library
Go to TOROFIND: the CSUDH Library Catalog and
search on the title, author, subject or keyword. Look not only for that specific
call number, but also check out the books in that section.
- If you don't see the right item listed, or want more titles, try an
on a few
keywords (in separate boxes).
- If you still don't find the right book, ask a reference librarian.
For more detailed help, download our LIBRARY GUIDES (.doc format) :
Search Tips:
- Try Advanced Search for more search options: combine keywords with
AND, OR and NOT, and search phrases "in
quotes".
- Find index descriptors attached to useful article citations- redo your
search with these "Official Database Topic Terms"
- Always use the E-Mail, Print and Save functions embedded
within the screen. It is usually not a good idea to use the File-Print or
File-Save As functions in the upper left hand corner of the browser.
- Use the online HELP screens - they really are helpful!
