Find Books & Ebooks

Use the catalog to find books, ebook titles, and series titles. For broader results or to discover more titles, try a keyword search, or use Advanced search for subject searches and more refined results.

Print books may be located in the Reference Collection (for in-library use only) or in the Main JD McKean Library Collection (available for checkout). To filter your results to reference books, add b8:reference to your search. Example: evangelism AND b8:reference

Looking for ebooks? After you perform a search, go to the Format section in the left sidebar and check the box next to eBooks. Ebook entries will include direct links to the full text.
