MBA 501: Leadership Issues in Management: Find Books

Library Online Catalog

The Library’s online catalog helps you find books, audiovisual materials, and online resources—such as articles, eBooks, and streaming videos—available through our subscriptions.
When searching the catalog, keep these tips in mind:

  • Use keywords to explore materials on a specific topic. Reserve a title search for when you know the exact title.

  • Choose broad search terms to start; you can always narrow down later.

  • If you find a few promising titles, check their subject terms in the record. Clicking on a subject will show you other materials with the same subject heading.

  • Remember, we’re part of OhioLINK. If our library doesn’t have what you need—or if our copy is checked out—click Get it delivered from OhioLINK to request it from another member library.
