Finding Books & Media
(Please also see the "Reference Materials" tab for recent major online dictionaries and encyclopedias, and specialized resources.)
Hints for searching for books: enter IUCAT. Start with simple keyword concepts connected with AND (e.g. algebra AND learn$). The truncation symbol $ provides a search for all words beginning with a "root" such as learn. Log in to IUCAT, to use the Request Delivery system to request that a book available at another IU library, but not available here, be sent here for you to pick up. Hints for searching for videos: enter IUCAT. under More IUCAT Searches, select "Advanced Keyword Search". Enter a simple keyword search targeting general concepts (e.g. algebra). Then, scroll down to the "format:" pull-down menu and select option "Video/Slides, Etc." e-Books | | | | CRCnetBase Engineering - Electrical-Includes Communications (260), Electromagnetics, General (43, incl.

Hints for searching: Start with simple keyword concepts connected with AND (e.g. algebra AND learn$). The truncation symbol $ provides a search for all words beginning with a "root" such as learn. If you do multiple ebook searches, use the IUCAT "Go Back" tab when starting new searches to avoid being "bumped out" of the ebook search.
