How to Find Books

 

Information on books can be retrieved from Buley Library directly on your own computer. The materials that we don't own can be requested through interlibrary loan. Look up on CONSULS - the online catalog for SCSU, CCSU, ECSU, and WCSU at http://library.southernct.edu.  It can be searched by author, title, keyword or subject.          

E.g.        

Subjects:   Science Study and Teaching  

                                    

Keywords:   science education and high school
