Online
Catalog
Use
the Online
Catalog to locate books, periodicals,
and audiovisual materials available in Pearson
Library. Try a keyword search which allows you
to search using any word; a subject search requires
an exact subject heading from the Library of Congress
Subject Headings books.

locate periodicals held by Pearson Library and
which years are available, check either the online
catalog and search by title, or check the binder
titled Periodical Lists by Title available
in the library. Our periodicals are arranged in

format.

Search Tools
There
is a wealth of information on the Internet. The
following list of selected Internet resources
provides access to web indexes and search engines.
Links to these and others are also provided on
Pearson
Library's Internet Search Tools and Ready Reference
Links page. One thing to remember about
these indexes and search engines is that they
all search the web in a different manner, so be
sure to consult the "Help" or "Search Tips" feature
found on the search tool's first page before beginning
your search.
