Research Tips

• Search library catalogs for books and more. See especially Cameo and Worldcat.

• 
  Try MetaLib to search multiple library catalogs (and article databases) simultaneously. Beta version.

• To locate a book that you have identified from a Cameo search note the library (e.g. HUNT or ENGR&SCI), the location (e.g. FA-REF-4, STACKS-4, or OVRSZQ-4) and the call number (e.g. NA2708 .Y439 2007). See sample citation.

• Books that Carnegie Mellon does not own may be requested through Interlibrary Loan. For information about borrowing items directly from other libraries see Using Other Libraries FAQ.
