Looking for a known item? (Citation Linker)
Find a specific journal article, journal or book by citation information.

The ASU Library files the majority of our print materials according to the Library of Congress Classification - meaning that our items' call numbers begin with letters (rather than the Dewey Decimal system's use of numbers at the start of call numbers).
• Items which focus on language and literature are generally assigned call numbers beginning with the letter P - regardless of format (books, digital video discs, journals, video recordings).
• For detailed information about the P class, see the Class P: Language and Literature outline.
• Unsure about terminology to use in your searches? Consult the Library of Congress Subject Headings - which is part of the Library of Congress Linked Data Service.

Content/Resources

• For a single search-box of a large percentage of our available content see Library One Search.
• Try BrowZine - a library-supplied tool for browsing, following and reading academic journals licensed by the ASU Library. BrowZine users may create a free personal account to add selected titles to the "My Bookshelf" and "Reading Lists" utilities.
