| Locating Books |
|
| The catalogs below will help you identify books and media items related to your topic. Tip: The phrase 'motion pictures' will sometimes be more helpful than 'film.' Try both. Books shelved on the second floor may be checked out; books in the reference collection on the first floor can be consulted in the Library. |

the Library's online catalog, to see if Auraria has access to the
periodicals you're looking for. Use ILLIAD (Interlibrary loan service) to order journal and magazine
articles that Auraria Library doesn't own.
