The Primo search box on the Library's home page is a gateway to thousands of books.
To find print books (and some ebooks) in the SJU libraries' collections, limit your initial search to Books+ (Library catalog). You may also conduct a search, and then limit your results to Resource Type books and then limit again to those "Available at the library". To find ebooks only, limit your search to resource type books and then limit again to those "Available online".
In the Advanced Search, you can limit by language for Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese or Spanish. Your results may include some books which are translated from the desired language as well as texts in that language.
Call numbers tell you where a book is shelved. In the Francis A. Drexel Library, we use Library of Congress Classification which groups titles by subject matter.
The following call number ranges will help you get started: Classification for Languages and Literatures (P). For works by or about an individual literary author, please search our catalog to find a more specific call number.
