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 "linear algebra" (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.
Booth Library offers several databases useful for finding articles in mathematics. All databases are accessible from off campus as well; just log in with your EIU netID and password. Think about your topic in terms of keywords, which can either be connected by AND/OR/NOT on the same line, or separated on different lines.
To obtain the articles you want, click on the full-text if available, or click on the Get Full Text link to see whether your article is available online or in print through another Booth Library source. More information about Get Full Text and examples of how it works are available at https://eiu.libguides.com/getfulltext.
