TigerSearch searches our library’s holdings along with the contents of most of our databases. SUMMA campers can use the hardcopy books in the library, but don't have access to ebooks and articles in databases.

The video below will show you how to search for and find books in the library.

Find Tigersearch on the library homepage.

Resources for Research

Google Scholar
You can search for articles on Google Scholar. If the articles are available online, Google Scholar will usually link to them. Google Scholar can also help you find books.
Google Books
Search for book titles in Google Books to find a preview of some of the content. This will usually show you at least the table of contents and part of the introduction. Often other selected pages are available as well.
Amazon (look inside)
Amazon's "look inside" feature will also help you preview a book's contents.
Internet Archive
The Internet Archive has an online library where you can check out books for an hour at a time.
