Find books, electronic books (eBooks), journals, and other types of information in the FAU Library Catalog.

A search for items in the catalog can be done in following ways:

• Keywords:  Using words that describe the topic you want to find (example:  caring in nursing).
• Title:  Provide the name of a book or journal (example:  Foundations of Nursing Theory).
• Author:  Find a book or information written by a particular person (example:  Anne Boykin).
• Subject Heading:  Search by a standardized term such as a MeSH or library subject heading that describe a concept (example:  pediatric nursing). 

The catalog will then provide a brief list of results based on the terms and types of search done. 

Each item in the list of results, when selected to show a full result, will provide the following information about an item:

• Location of item (campus, collection, and availability).
• Library of Congress (LC) Call Number.
• Availability for borrowing.
