Full text availability and ability to download and print pages or works varies by copyright status of work and license between Google and the book's publisher for in-copyright works. Look for a Find In Library link to locate a print copy in a nearby library.
1) Do not only browse the shelves. We store many books off-site in the Depository, so take time to look through the books under appropriate subject headings in the UM LIBRARIES CATALOG.
2) Subject headings: if you have a name, start by searching the name (last name first) as a subject heading. Even if you don't have a name, try a broad subject search. Look for smaller subdivisions of the subject that may be helpful.
3) If you are getting books in languages you cannot read, look for the Limit Search button to limit your search to English language.
4) If we don't have a book you want, search for the book in All MERLIN and use the Request Item function. Still no luck? Use MOBIUS.
To search for books on a topic, go straight to a library catalog such as MERLIN (for the MU Libraries), MOBIUS (for all Missouri academic libraries) or Worldcat (for most U.S. and some non-U.S. libraries).
