Finding Books

Use Tri-C's online catalog or OhioLINK's online catalog to find books about your topic.

1. Try a KEYWORD search: school violence
   
   This type of search will find the phrase "school violence" somewhere in the information about the book. Check the catalog record and the actual book carefully as the book may or may not be *about* your topic.
   
   
2. Narrow your search if you get too many results:
   school violence AND (teen* OR adolescen*)
   
   Use AND to connect different concepts. Combine like terms with OR. Use the * to get different word endings: teen* = teen, teens, teenager, teenagers, teenaged
   

Books may be requested from other campuses or university libraries free of charge. Use the request button or link. You will need your name, S number, and college.
