Search the Catalog by Subject
Go to the library catalog at http://www.evc.edu/library and click on the link to BOOKS.. Go to Advanced Search and using the drop down menu select Subject.
If you are looking for a book ABOUT a woman (in researching a "phenomenal woman") you can search the library catalog using a subject search. Select a Subject search using either the drop-down menu or the right-hand side navigation link.
Enter your subject's name in Last name, First name order.
For example: Mead, Margaret
If you don't find what you are looking for using a subject search, then you can try using a key word search in the catalog. With key word searching, you do not need to be as particular in what order you enter your names or terms.
Once you identify a book or other item of interest, you will need to get the details about that item by clicking on its hyperlinked
title. Be sure to write down the information about the item you want, including the title, it's location, and call number. If you need assistance in locating the item, see a librarian or another staff member.
Remember, you can search the Library Catalog at home 24/7!
