What is the Library Search?

Answer

The Library Search is a way to find articles, books, and many more kinds of resources all in one search. You can modify the search to look for certain sets of results:

  • All PFW Sources looks for material we have immediate online access to and includes physical items owned by the library. If you don't find what you're looking for, you can toggle an option to expand your search beyond what we have immediate access to.
  • Books & Media finds books, videos, and other items owned by the library, but does not find article citations. This is also known as a "Catalog" search.
  • E-Journals by Title searches for subscribed journal access by the name of the journal, instead of by an article citation.
  • All Purdue Sources is a search similar to the All PFW Sources option. This choice includes physical items owned by the other Purdue libraries, which you can request to have delivered here for you by signing in. This service is called "PurdueBorrow".
