Want to discover the books that Tisch Library has on your topic?  Search by keyword, subject, or author/creator in JumboSearch, which simultaneously searches across all of the library's resources, including both print and eBooks. After you've entered your search terms, use the resource type limiter on the left side of the page to select Books.

JumboSearch and BLC WorldCat are the two most important places to search for books and recent publications.

​To find primary sources in JumboSearch, use terms such as: personal narratives, memoirs, memorials, correspondence, letters, diaries, etc. Of course, look for works by individuals of the time.

Books written in Europe will tend to use "First World War" and Americans tend to use "World War I", so you can get an idea from the title the perspective of the book right away.

Below you will see the floor plan of Level 1 which is downstairs and where the majority of the books are shelved.  The books are arranged by call number starting with A and the snaking their way around the floor.  Each stack end is labeled with the first and last call number so all you have to do is figure out if your call number falls between them!  Once you get the idea you won't need a floor plan to find your books.
