Using OneSearch to Locate Books
Using OneSearch from the Library's homepage allows you to search EVERYTHING the library has access to including books (print and electronic), but also journal articles, and open access sources. Simply click on OneSearch and enter your search!
If you want to specifically look for books/ebooks, you can limit your search by clicking "BC Library Books & eBooks" in your search. (NOTE: there are several other ways to limit your search to books, but this is by far the easiest).
The live book links below will take you to electronic books. This video will show you how to access them and how to search for others.

Information Needed from OneSearch to Find Book on Shelf
Once you have search results, click on one of the books. A screen for that book will pop up
For each book you will see the citation information, description, collection, call number, and status.
Always check the status first to make sure it says "Available" before you get too excited about a book.
Then check which collection it can be found in. If it says "General Collection" it is in the white-labeled bookcases, and if it says "Reference Collection" it is in the green-labeled bookcases. If it says "Delano Library", it's at the Delano Campus.
Lastly, always write down the entire call number! See the box below about how to use that to find the book on the shelf.
Finding Books on the Library Shelf
Call Number= the address of the book on its spine
