To find a specific book in the RRU Library collection, use Discovery. Discovery is the main search box on the library homepage.
Here is a sample search for the book, 'joy of search'. The quotation marks serve to search for the book title as a three word phrase.
Depending on your search results, it may be helpful to use a content type filter - in this case, 'Book' - on the left side of your results. Without the filter. you may find book reviews instead of the book itself.
Here is a screen image of the sample book's listing in Discovery:
While most of our books are available in electronic format, this one happens to be available in hard copy. You can tell because it says, 'Available' and because there is a call number (ZA4230 R87 2019) which is the code you could use it to find the book on the shelf.
We are happy to mail you hard copy books from our collection - return postage pre-paid - if your mailing address is within Canada. For more information about book shipping, please see this other FAQ: Can I place a hold on a book and have it mailed out to me?
When you find a book that is available electronically, you will see a 'View eBook' button instead of a call number. You can click on this 'View eBook' button to open the ebook and read it.
If we do not have the book you are looking for, you can complete our Interlibrary Loan Request Form to ask that we find you a copy with one of our partner libraries. That partner library sends their physical copy through the mail and we send it out to you.
