You can find a book with its title in either Classic Catalog or the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) Advanced Search.

Classic Catalog

  1. Change the search type field from "keyword" to "title."
  2. Enter the title of your book in the search box.
  3. Click "Submit."

The "search type" combobox in Classic Catalog being changes from Keyword to Title.

EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS)

  1. Enter your book title in the first search bar. 
  2. Change the search field menu after the search bar from "All fields" to "Title - TI."
  3. Click "Search."

Note: Because EDS searches a wider variety of sources than Classic Catalog, you may get some book reviews for the book you are looking for in EDS search results.
