Finding Books
The pulldown menu can be set to search UNH Libraries only or broadened to search Boston Library Consortium (BLC) holdings or libraries worldwide (mostly in the US and Canada).
Items not available at the UNH Libraries usually can be requested from BLC or other libraries by using the Request option located on the right side of an item record.
The above is a keyword search of titles, authors, subjects, and content notes.
Results are ranked by relevance. Further refining by date, format, language, and other fields is possible.
The Classic Library Catalog provides alternative searches by book/journal title, author, subject, keyword etc.
Below are examples of SUBJECT Headings used in the UNH catalog
Theater Production and Direction
The library catalog will identify books, journal titles (not articles), DVDs/videos, musical scores and recordings, maps, etc. at the Durham and Manchester campus libraries.
If Not at UNH
- Request from the UNH-Manchester Library if available there.
- Request from the Boston Library Consortium Catalog Books only. Use also for books already circulating at the UNH Library.
- Request through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) For any type of material: book, article, DVD, video, etc. but only if not owned by UNH.
