Find books

You can find most books (print and e-books) at Stanford in SearchWorks, the Stanford University Libraries' next generation search engine. 

To find a book using its title, simply enter the title in the search box and click on the pull-down on the search button to select title.

To find an e-version, click the option for "online" from the access menu in the left column on the results page.

In SearchWorks you can search using keywords (everything), subject terms, call number, series, or author.  Just enter your search terms and select the option you prefer from the search button.

Once you’ve entered a search you call apply limits such as publication year, topic, location, language, etc. by selecting from the options in the left menu on the results page. To do a combined search of terms, try the Advanced Search.
