Finding Books in OneSearch

Getting Started

Search OneSearch for Keywords. Use the title, author, and other information about the book to complete an interlibrary loan request to have the book shipped to your home address or the CAP Indy Center [more instructions on requesting books from campus below]. If you'll be on campus, you may also place a hold on a book and pick it up in the library by signing in and selecting "Request" in the book record.

Search Tips 

Select "Physical Books in Library Catalog" in the filters to limit your search to books only.


Most libraries assign Library of Congress Subject Headings to items in their catalogs. Look for subjects to use in your searches:

Have University Libraries Books Delivered to You

University Libraries Interlibrary Loan will deliver books from the Architecture Library or Bracken Library to your home address or the CAP Indy Center. The library will ship the books to you for free, but you are responsible for getting the books back to campus.

To have books delivered to you:

  1. Search OneSearch for books.
     
  2. Look for the Request the item with Interlibrary Loan / ILLiad link in the OneSearch record for the book.


     
  3. If signing up for the first time, be sure to select "Distance Ed Grad" in the Status menu.


    If you're already signed up, you can check your status by logging in to the University Libraries' Interlibrary Loan system and going to your Profile.
  4. Fill out a New Request for a book or article (see menu on left side of screen).

     
  5. If you would like the book shipped to the CAP Indy Center instead of your home address, specify this in the Note box.

 

If the book is checked out, you'll need to hold/recall the book and then have it sent to you via Interlibrary Loan:

  1. Login to OneSearch:
  2. Click Request, and set the Pickup Location to Bracken Library.
