Social Work: Finding Books

Searching for Books

Use Quick Find to find books (including e-books) at the University of Regina Library, Campion College Library, Luther College Library, First Nations University Library, and online.

Quick Find offers two search modes: Basic Search and Advanced Search.

• In Basic Search, you search by entering keywords. When looking for books only, you can change the search parameter under the text box from All items to Books. Alternately, when you get a list of search results, look for Resource Type to the left of the list, and click on the word Books under it. This leaves only books in your search results.
• In Advanced Search you have options when you enter your keywords, such as limiting the search to a specific field (e.g. title, author, ISBN). You can limit your search results to books by selecting books from the Material Type menu, or by using the same method as is used in Basic Search (described above).

These resources can help you find books anywhere. If you find a book that the U of R Library does not have, you can request a copy through Interlibrary Loan.
