How to Find Books

FCU Library Catalog (FCU WebOPAC) is your first choice when looking for books. You may search a book by title or author. You can also search by keywords, subjects or even classification numbers of the book. When you find the book you need, check for its status to see if it is checked out. If it is on the shelf, you can locate it according to the call number. If it is an electronic book, you can access the book on campus by clicking the link.         

If addition to the Library Catalog, you can search electronic books by searching E-Books databases. E-Books databases provide different function from library catalog, not only can you search in the bibliographic information, such as title or author, but also search in the content of the book. You can read the full-text online as well.

What should I do if the library does not own the book?

If the library does not own what you need, you can request the book through Interlibrary Loan or Nationwide Document Delivery Services.

To see which library owns the book you need, you can search individual library catalog. However, it is better to use Union Catalogs of National Bibliographic Information Network (NBINet). The way to search this tool is the same as searching FCU WebOPAC, and you can learn which library owns the book from the search results.
