Search the NVC catalog below for books, ebooks, CDs, and DVDs

don't forget to expand your search to all ACC libraries.  [ Search Tips ]

Search other libraries with WorldCat (limit your search by zip code)

Keyword Search:  Enter a few basic terms on the topic you're looking for -- for example, "inorganic chemistry", "carbon", or "chemistry experiment"

Subject Search:  Select the Subject tab and enter basic terms describing the general subject area.  Useful subject searches for chemistry include:  Chemistry, Chemical, Chemicals, Compounds.  You can also follow the subject links or tags at the bottom of book entries to find relevant subject headings.

Other Tips:  The catalog searches the NVC Collection by default.  However, you can use the collection drop-down box to expand your search to the entire ACCD system or to a specific campus.  Items located at other campus can be requested via Inter-Library Loan (contact the Reference Desk for help) or borrowed directly from that campus by the student.

You can restrict the types of materials (print, e-book, video, etc.) using the Advanced Keyword Search and selecting a particular Material Type.
