When you are using the Libraries' Catalog, remember that author names need to be searched last (family) name first. To search for books ABOUT an author, use the subject search rather than keyword.
When using the Keyword search, be flexible with your search words. The amount of information in each book record is fairly minimal. You may have to try a broader search if your specific words don't have any results.
Search in Spanish
To search in Spanish, you can type your search terms in the search box, click "Go" and then use the filters on the results screen (left-hand side of the screen) to look at just materials in Spanish.
