SoTL Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: Catalog & Books

Find Books option provides one-stop searching for books and e-books, journal articles, DVDs, and more.  The search box in the widget above allows you to directly search for materials found in what was previously called the Library Catalog.

The video below provides a brief introduction on how to use the new Search to find books and e-books in the USC Upstate library collection.  

• E-books are accessed through a link in the record of the book. Look for the "connect to" link. Many e-books may be browsed or searched through various e-book links on our Databases LibGuide (be sure to narrow your database type to "E-Books."
• When accessing the library catalog from off campus, make sure you log in using the icon in the top right corner. This will enable all links (including e-book links).

If a nearby academic library has a book we don't have available, you can use PASCAL's Visiting Patron service to check it out in person from the other institution. To do this, we recommend:

• You first verify the book is available at a participating PASCAL library and able to be loaned through PASCAL. If you aren't sure, check with a reference librarian or the circulation desk. These are the same titles that are available through PASCAL Delivers.
• Make sure your Upstate library account is in good standing and that your ID is working properly (you can also check this at circulation).
• Visit the library and borrow the book using your USC Upstate ID.
