Choose the Booth Catalog to find books in the library, and in the search box, type in keywords describing what you'd like to find. You'll find the best results using simple words or phrases, such as Javascript, "Word 2013" or "artificial intelligence" (for best results, put phrases in quotes). Click on each title to find more information about the item. The catalog will also find information on videos, ebooks, government publications, and more. You can sort your results by Newest First.
