Use UW Libraries Search to find physical materials such as print books at UW Libraries and Summit.
Locating physical items in the UW Libraries collection involves three steps: searching for material using relevant words and phrases, refining the search results to display only the desired Resource Types in the results, and limiting the search to UW and Summit Libraries.
1. Enter the title or search terms you are looking for in the search box on the UW Libraries homepage. Click Search.
2. To specify the types of materials you are looking for, such as print books, go to the Refine My Results side bar. Under the "Resource Type" section, select the desired type(s) of materials, such as Print Books, then click on Apply Filters at the bottom of the screen.
3. To limit the number of search results to material available at the UW or any of the Summit Libraries, use the drop-down at the top of the results list to select either "UW Libraries" or "UW Libraries + Summit". Click on the magnifying glass icon to run the search again.
