Key tools
To find books (and more) here at Dartmouth, search our library catalog.
Every item in the library catalog (book, video, journal/magazine title...) is represented by a catalog “record.”
The catalog record:
* Describes the item, i.e. provides the information needed for a citation
* Provides the information necessary to locate the material in the library
* Includes links to related material (Subject Headings)
- Reality television programsTip: Change the default sort from "System Sorted" to "Date, newest first". That sorts all the titles from each subheading set into a single list.
