Yes. Enter your search terms into Library Search, as you type you'll see options to search Everything, Books, Articles or Rare Books. Choose Books, or if you're looking for something in the Rare books collection choose Rare books.
The results will only show books which match your search.
We recommend you enter the title of the book you want and the surname of the author to limit the number of items found.
If you want to search for books by author rather than title use the Advanced Search:
- Click Advanced Search to the right of the search box
- In the 'Search for' area you can select to limit to Everything, Books, Articles or Rare Books
- In the first search change the field search from 'Title' to 'Author/Creator' and enter the author name in the search box
Click the Search option at the bottom right of the Advanced Search box. In the example given above the Books option is selected, the Author/Title field has been selected and the author name entered in the box. You can search for an author using their full name or surname, first name or surname initials, or surname only.
