Search for Books

Online Catalog

Features include the ability to search for books and articles from EBSCO Academic Search Complete at the same time, as well as being able to limit your search by item type (DVDs, print books, e-books, etc.) Recent additions to the collection are highlighted on the main page as well. Need assistance with the new catalog? Call 410-287-1005 or email library@cecil.edu

Use the online catalog to locate print books, electronic books, DVDs, and select journal articles. You can search by keyword ("all fields"), title, author, or subject. You can also renew your materials, put materials on hold and search for materials placed on Reserve for your classes. Electronic books are available to read online, take notes, and print pages.

Search for Articles

Databases

Journal, magazine and newspaper articles can be located using the databases. The library subscribes to a variety of databases that cover a wide range of subjects. In addition to the traditional databases, the library also subscribes to e-references that contain reports, encyclopedia articles, articles from other reference books, videos, maps, images, paintings, and standardized test preparation materials.

Need help? Check out numerous video tutorials on searching in the databases.
