BIOL 2401 / 2402 TR: Find Books

This guide will help you locate resources for your A&P classes.

TCC Catalog Search

TCC Catalog Search on the library homepage is the best tool to use to find books, e-books, and DVDs. Try your search here:

 

Select "In the Library" from the drop-down menu to limit your search to books, movies, and audiobooks that live in one of our TCC campus libraries. 

Select "Ebooks" from the drop-down menu if you'd prefer to get a list of electronic books that you can read online or download to your device.

Tip: Put phrases and concepts in quotation marks to get more precise results.  

For example:

  • "traumatic brain injury"
  • "acute disseminated encephalomyelitis"

To limit your search by format, title, or author, use the Advanced Search.

Search Tips

Search Tip 1 - Keywords

  • In the TCC Catalog box on the library website, select "In the Library" for print books or "Ebooks" to search for electronic books that you can access on your device.
  • Type the keywords that best describe your topic.
  • Don't try to make your search a complete sentence or a question; just use keywords only.

Search Tip 2 - Filter Your Results

  • Use the filters in the left-hand column to narrow down your results by resource type, date, and subject.
  • Filters can help you remove search results that are not relevant or current for your topic. For example, a fictional story about a character with a brain injury is not relevant to academic research on the topic.

Search Tip 3 - Know Your Options

  • Search results will indicate the format for each item. Check for availability underneath each item title.
  • Ebooks are viewable by selecting the "Available Online" link.
  • Items in any library's circulating collection may be requested for curbside pickup at any other campus location.
