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, faculty, and staff. 

You can search for books using LibrarySearch, which you can access from the search box on our library home page. You can search by topic or by title.

To search: 

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

If you want books available from the UO Libraries system and from the consortium of colleges and universities in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, select "UO + Summit."

If you want to broaden your search even further, you have a couple options. If the item you're looking for doesn't come up in your initial search, you can click on "expand your search" to see more results for items that you can request from other libraries outside of the Pacific Northwest. 

You can also use WorldCat to search beyond the UO Libraries and the consortium.

Materials from Summit Libraries and beyond can be requested through our interlibrary loan service. Please see the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) page on the Requesting at UO Libraries guide for more information on how to place a request.

Once you've started your search in LibrarySearch, 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.
