If you start at the UNH website at http://www.newhaven.edu/, click on Library in the top middle. All the links for accessing library materials and services are on the left on the library home page. The most important are the ones for Catalog, Databases, Journals, and library Guides, but a quick look at all the links will be time well spent.
Library Catalog
Use the library catalog to find circulating and reference materials, including books, audio-visual resources, government documents, and periodical holdings. Our catalog uses the Library of Congress (LC) classification system and subject headings. LC assigns call numbers (letters and numerals) according to the book's primary subject. Some quick catalog search tips:
- Truncate with '?': manag? will get management, manager, managing, etc.
- Put phrases in " ": "strategic planning" or "total quality management"
- Sort results by Publish date descending to get newest items at the top of the list.
- Click on Bibliographic and use the subject-heading links below to find
additional material.
- Click on Linked Resources or look for the URL box next to an item for
electronic access.
For additional search tips, consult the library guide on Using the UNH Library Catalog (OPAC).
