If you find a citation for a book or article you would like to use for your research, you will first need to understand the parts of a citation.

Citation for a Book:

To see if the library owns a copy of the book, you can search by the book's title or author in PointCat.

Article Citation:

To see if the library owns a copy of the article you want, you should first check the Title List and search by the Journal Title, not the article title.
