Library Catalog

Use the library catalog to find dictionaries and encyclopedias in Jackson Library and other UNC G libraries and collections. Try a keyword search to find resources on a topic.

Tips:

• Use AND when using more than one search term. For example, if you're looking for dictionaries that specifically deal with nursing terms, search for nursing and dictionary.
• If you know the title of the dictionary or encyclopedia you need, try a Keyword in Title search.

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