How do you use the TCC Library Catalog? 

The catalog is the first place to start your search for materials in the library. All materials can be found in the catalog by searching in a variety of ways. In the search bar you can search by Title, Author, Subject, or Keyword.

The search option you use will depend on what you already know:

• By Title - if you know the exact title of the book
• By Author - if you know the name of the author (be sure to enter it last name, first name)
• By Subject - if you want to look at all the books under a specific category (often a good place to start if you're not sure of your topic)
• By Keyword - if you want to find a specific word or phrase in any part of a book's catalog record.

From your result list, find the book that you are looking for. Click on the Title - or Availability link of the book to see the full record. This will show you if the book is available, what collection it is in (circulating, reference including textbooks, etc.) and the Call Number

Finding Books within the Library:

• Every book has a call number. The Library's collection is arranged by the Library of Congress Classification (LOC) and the call number will be a combination of letters and numbers usually found on the spine of the book.
• If the location indicates it is available and in the Circulating Collection, the book can be checked out.
• Login to place a hold on the book for pick up when you come to the library.
• If the location is listed as Reference or Reserves, the item can only be viewed on the library premises (i.e. it cannot be checked out).

The location and call number is listed as the Circulating Collection: PN6728.M363 W55 2014

Boundless by Baker and Taylor is an app that you can download on your phone to access eBooks and Audiobooks for both Apple and Android platforms. You can search for title in the app or through the TCC Catalog.
