A good way to find books and other sources about something or someone (e.g. elections, political campaigns, voting, John F. Kennedy, etc), is to browse the Library's online catalog using a SUBJECT search. In Advanced Discover Search, select "Subject" (instead of the default "Any Field"), select "contains phrase" (instead of the default "contains") and enter your SUBJECT.

Search Tips:
Use the options listed below to find books not in the GSU library:
1. The GIL Universal Catalog, allows you to search and request books from any University System of Georgia library. To use, choose "University System of Georgia" from the dropdown menu to the left of the "Search" button. After you find the book you need, click the "Log in to enable GIL Express Requests" link to have the book transferred to the GSU Library. Requests take anywhere from 4-7 days to arrive at the GSU library.
2. You can also check out books in person from any University System of Georgia library or Emory University's libraries using your PantherCard. Call the library before you go for information on their borrowing policies.
3. If you still are not finding enough information, use the WorldCat database, which allows you to search the collections of libraries throughout the world. Books located in WorldCat can be ordered via the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) ILLiad system. To do so, first locate the book you would like to request in the WorldCat database. Then, log into ILLiad with your library ID number (on the back of your PantherCard) to place a request. ILL requests may take two weeks or more to arrive at the GSU Library, so plan ahead.
When you search GIL-Find, GSU Library's Online catalog, get this information to find the book:
