Jewish Studies: Finding Books

Check out the following videos to learn how to search for books in the library catalog (and place a hold) or use OneSearch to locate books (and articles) available at Fordham University Libraries.

 Looking for ebooks only? Select the "Online Resources" option under the library dropdown limiter before your press Search in the catalog.

Borrowing books or accessing articles that are not available at any of the Fordham University Libraries requires assistance from Interlibrary Loan.

Find books and other items outside of Fordham with WorldCat / OCLC FirstSearch, a platform that enables searching across the largest library network of collections around the world.

As you search through the Library Catalog for books, click on a link for a book and select the Catalog Record link:

To find similar books, click on the subject term Antisemitism--United States--History. This will show you other books in the catalog with the same subject classification.

Another search strategy is to copy & paste subject headings into the Subject search box on the catalog. See additional tabs on the guide for suggested subject headings.
