Basic Library Tools
- Books and More (Library Catalog)This is where you will go to locate books, documents, and audio-visual materials owned by the libraries at the University of Richmond.
Clicking on the title of a book from the list of results displays the details about the title, it location, its availability, the subject headings assigned to it, and often its contents.
Depending on the type of material, you may need to use the location and call number information to find the material on the shelf in the library, or, if it is an online resource, click on the link to the full text.
In the middle of the page, you also have options to email, save to a citation database format, or add to a list of saved titles in in your account (you'll have to sign in to do this). Simply click on the available links.
If a book you need is checked, you can request a copy via our inter-library loan service. Sign in to your library account to see this option.
