For sources covering many subject areas, start with Library Search, the large search box on the library's homepage. Then use the link on the left side of the screen for books. (You may also want to use limiters for date, topic, or other options.) These results will include materials in the Parkside Library and other UW libraries, as well as ebooks.
You can also use the drop-down next to the search box to limit to just Parkside or what's available at other UW libraries. You can request books from other UW libraries, and they'll arrive at Parkside in 2-3 days.
Finding sources can be complicated. If you've been looking for 5 or 10 minutes and haven't found what you're looking for, contact us for help.
