Library Catalog

Use the library catalog to find biographies in Jackson Library and other UNCG libraries and collections. Try a keyword search to find resources on a topic.

You can search the UNCG library catalog using the Search the Library Catalog box below.  Use the drop down menus to specify which libraries you want to search and how you want to search.  For example, do you already know the title of the biography you are looking for?  You can then narrow your search by clicking the "by:"  drop down menu and choosing "Title".

TIP:

• What if you don't know an exact title? For biographies, you can search using a person's name as the subject.  Click on the "Advanced Search" tab in the catalog, use the drop down box to select "Subject" and enter the name in the format "last name first name"  and enter the word "Biography" as a keyword or subject in a second box.  Additional information can be added to the other search boxes to narrow down your results.
