Finding Books, Generally

Search the library catalog by subject, author, title, or use other filters. Here's an example of a search for:

  • books at the Las Cruces campus BLUE
  • by the playwright (author) GREEN
  • David Mamet RED

Other Searches

Search for known titles, such as book titles, play titles,and movies, BY TITLE

Search for theatre topics such as Theater--History, Staging & Design, and Acting, BY SUBJECT

 

Print and e-books

Here is the results list for the search for works by David Mamet. See that some of these are available online (e-books RED) and some are print (BLUE). Actually, in this example, the play, Race, is both an e-book and a print book.
