| | If you know something about the item you're searching for (for example, Title, Author, Journal Title, Call Number, Subject, ISBN), start with an ALPHABETICAL search. |
| | If you know that what you're looking for is available electronically, choose Electronic Title in your ALPHABETICAL search. This search will also find E-books owned by the library. However, click here for a list of additional sources of E-books, including those not owned by the library. |
| | Individual titles in a series can sometimes be difficult to find. A series is a group of separate items that have individual volume titles as well as a collective title for the whole group.
One example of a series is Lecture Notes in Mathematics. Two of the titles in this series are: "Big Queues" (v.1838) and "Optical Processes on Manifolds" (v.963). Both are part of the series but each has a distinct and separate title. It is often necessary take several approaches to finding a series title, depending on the information you have about the title.
Examples
You know the name of the series (Lecture Notes in Mathematics) and you know the volume number: - From the JHU Libraries Catalog do an alphabetical search for a SERIES Title.
- In the search box enter "lecture notes in mathematics" (without quotation marks)
- The volumes are listed in reverse chronological order, so scroll down until you get to it.
You know the title of an individual volume but you need to see other titles in the series: - From the JHU Libraries Catalog do an ALPHABETICAL TITLE search.
- In the search box, enter the volume title that you know.
- Choose the entry for the title and view the full record.
- There is a link to "Lecture Notes in Mathematics" in the series field. Click that link and JHU Libraries' holdings for the series will be displayed.
