How to find books, videos, and other materials in Steely Library.
These are suggestions only and do not reflect the full range of materials that may be useful to you. For additional assistance, Ask Steely Library!
For locating specific items, including videos in the Media Collection, using the library's catalog, NKUIRE, is recommended. Keyword, Author, Title, and Subject are among the ways you can search.
For Non-Print Media (videos, DVDs, CDs, slides, etc.), consider the ‘Media Searches’ tab atop the NKUIRE search page.
