To Find Books in the ASU Library:
- Use the ASU Library's Catalog
- Use the ASU Library's One Search
Search titles, keywords or authors in the single search box; an advanced search feature is also available. Use the options in One Search's left column to limit the results to books/e-books, conference publications, etc. or any combination of these.
To Find Books In Other Libraries:
If the ASU Library doesn't have the book that you need, request the book via our Interlibrary Loan Service.
Electronic Books:
Most of our electronic books are listed in the catalog, however, to search the full text of a book, use the native search engine for these collections (see links below). All of our scholarly books are viewable online, primarily in PDF. A few titles are available in the Adobe Digital Edition format for limited time downloading onto an e-reader or tablet; download availability is noted on the book and requires a personal computer with the ADE software and account registration with the vendor.
