Find Books

Books and Ebooks via MultiSearch
 
 

The Library Catalogue lists books held in the Library's collection. Hints for searching the Library catalogue:

  • Use Keyword or Title searches to find additional material.
  • Use the Browse Alphabetically: By Author search (e.g., Livy) to find primary sources.
  • Note that the Library Catalogue does not use abbreviated book titles. If your reading list uses abbreviation like CAH, you will need to type 'Cambridge Ancient History' in full.
  • Click the Subject Headings of useful titles to find books on related subjects. Some relevant subject headings are
    • Cults – Rome
    • Mythology, Classical – use the Refine Results > Suggested Topics “Mythology, Classical” to exclude similar subject headings if desired (e.g., exclude Mythology, Classical, in literature).
    • Mythology, Roman – use the Refine Results > Suggested Topics “Mythology, Roman” to exclude similar subject headings if desired (e.g., exclude Mythology, Roman, in literature).
    • Rome – Religion
  • Browse the library shelves in the classification sequences for Roman Mythologies and Religion.
  • NB. Since 2024 the library catalogue only includes books and ebooks purchased by UC Library. It omits hundreds of thousands of ebook titles ‘leased’ through library subscriptions, which are listed on MultiSearch. The library catalogue has more functional search and sorting capabilities than MultiSearch, all the same.
