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, using the library's catalog, NKUIRE,is recommended. Keyword, Author, Title, and Subject are among the ways you can search. Here's a tip for primary sources: in NKUIRE, combine your subject with "sources" or "personal narratives."

For Non-Print Media (videos, DVDs, CDs, slides, etc.), Consider the "Media Searches" tab atop the NKUIRE search page.

Browsing for materials in Steely's Reference and Circulating collections can be very useful.
