Library "Do-It-Yourself" (DIY)

I need to search for a book

In the FAU Libraries Catalog, enter the relevant book title or author in the search box.  Next, click on the drop-down menu, and select "title" if you have typed the book's title into the search box, and "author" if you have typed a book's author.  Then click "Search." If you want books about a particular topic, type a word or words used to describe the topic into the search box (e.g., nursing theories) and keep the drop-down default setting ("Anywhere").
