A student was looking for: "Law and Society: Critical Approaches" by George Turkel. It could not be found.

Try looking it up by the title and author first. If you can't find it that way then try adding "the" to the title, this sometimes works. You can also try to see if it may be something on Reserve for their class. (If a teacher put their own copy of a book on Reserve it won't show up in the general catalog because technically it is not part of our Library collection.) If you can't find it send them to the LC Desk for a second opinion. We also don't carry every book out there, but send them to the Reference Desk just to be sure.

Trouble finding a book, "A day with no pigs" by Robert Newton Peck? -D.J.

I looked and I could not find it in the catalog. We did have books by that author but not that particular book. We sometimes just don't have certain books in our collection. If you don't find a book you could still send them down to the LC Desk just to make sure.

What happens if a student can not locate a book via the Library Catalog after doing a basic search for "Title begins with" or "Author"?

We don't always carry every book that people want. If you are having trouble locating a book send them to the LC Desk for a second opinion just in case.
