LibrarySearch offers a streamlined interface for finding books and other media that combines the collections of UO Libraries and Summit libraries.

Recent computer science books are generally located in the Price Science Commons, while some older titles are located in the Math Library and 4th floor of Knight Library. Use the call number ranges below if you want to browse:

QA75-76.95 Calculating machines
QA75.5-76.95 Electronic computers, Computer science
QA76.5-76.765 Computer software
T385 Computer graphics

Books can offer a chance to learn about a subject in-depth. Edited books can provide a chapter or chapters related to your topic. In addition to print books, the UO Libraries offers many ebooks that can be accessed remotely by current UO students and faculty. 

LibrarySearch

To search: 

If you want only books/videos/music in the UO Libraries system, change the search scope to "UO Libraries." 

If you want books/videos/music in the UO Libraries system and the consortium of 37 colleges and universities in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, select "UO + Summit." You can place a request for books within Summit using LibrarySearch. Requests generally arrive within 3-5 days.  

If you want to broaden your search even further, use WorldCat to search beyond the UO Library and the consortium.  These materials are requested through Interlibrary Loan and may come from any library. Books and AV items arrive within an average of 10 days. You can also request individual book chapters be scanned and sent to you. There is a link to WorldCat on the Libraries' homepage. 

You can limit your search results by resource type using the search filters, usually on the left-side of the screen (or click on the filter icon if you are on a mobile device). Click on "Print books" and "eBooks" to limit your results to both types of books. 

If there are materials you need that we don't have, we can probably get them for you through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

Most journal articles arrive in 3-4 days and will be sent electronically.

Please allow about 2 weeks for delivery of print materials. An e-mail will be sent when print materials are ready for pick-up.
