There are a few access points to search our library catalog, where you can find the books we own. You can use the search box on the main page, or click on Find Books & Media in the top navigation bar.
If you want to start your search only in the GCC Library and for books, you'll want to ensure you're using the "GCC Catalog" search scope.

Enter your search keywords into the search box and click search. And to limit to only books, you can filter by Material Type in the left navigation menu [see image].
Please note that each item in our catalog will have a material type label above the search result, and the availability and location (call number) is at the bottom of each search result [see image].

Librarians at the Information Desk will happily help you locate the book. Please see this video for more information.
