Library Hours
In the Burgess Library catalog, it usually works best to begin with a simple search. You can then narrow your search from the results page.
You can do a simple search by entering the book title and/or the author into the search box. Note that if you do a simple search you may get many results and need to look carefully for the right item. If you want to find books on your topic, enter 1-3 keywords that describe your topic. (You can also use the Advanced search for more search options.)
