If you find a book but we don't have it in our collection, you can request it through interlibrary loan.
Books contain a lot of text and other information, but our catalogs search the words in titles, table of contents (sometimes), and subject headings. Keep this in mind when searching for books and consider searching on broader terms rather than very precise topics.
