Books and eBooks can be found with the Libray's online catalog, OneSearch, at the Library's homepage. For quick searches, simply use the single search box; for detailed searches, click the "Advanced Search" and select the button to "Books & Media (CSUF)". If we don't have a book in our Library you want, you can expand OneSearch to search all CSU libraries at once, and request the book be sent here (free). If no other CSU libraries have the book either, you can request the book (again, free) via an InterLibrary Loan request.
In addition to finding books, the Library Homepage's OneSearch catalog can also find articles. It meta-searches across all the Library's databases at once. In the OneSearch Advanced Search, select the circle to "Articles." Here is a screenshot sample of accessing an article in OneSearch. Besides OneSearch, for more specific searching, you can search articles in individual databases. The Library offers over 400 scholarly databases. At the Library's homepage, simply click "Find Databases." Access is available 24/7 with your CSUF Portal username and password. Databases are listed alphabetically, or you can used the pulldown menu to sort them by subject.
