Finding Books

Worldcat is the best place to identify books and other materials owned by the UM Libraries and other libraries around the world. After using the link to the UMD library site, choose the "Worldcat" tab and enter search terms in the search box to get started. Don't worry about being too precise at first; you can easily narrow down your results later to books, publication date, etc. Use the Advanced Search option for more precise search options as per suggested Subject headings below..
