There are 4 ways to search for a book: author, title, ISBN, keyword.

You will find the search engine in the center of the page under “Find Book”. Enter the appropriate information: author, title, ISBN, or keyword. Keywords can be used to find the subject or important words in your book, i.e. Book Title: Calculus III, some useful keywords would be: Calculus, Logarithms, Sine, and Cosine.

Note: You must use a space or period to separate abbreviated names in a search string. For example, to search for "J.K. Rowling" you can use "J K" or "J.K.", but not "JK".

If you are logged in, by default the search engine will search your particular school or state first. If you would like to expand your search, you may use the advanced search options on the top of the page to include other schools or states. You may also browse our full listing of books by clicking on “Browse All Books”.

If you are not satisfied with your results, you can use our affiliates search engine. This is found on the bottom of the search page. We search the top 20 online book stores for the cheapest prices around. This is a sure way to find the book you want at the best price.

You can also create a book watch that will notify you by email when the book you requested has been listed on Urshelf.
