Frequently Asked Questions

The Avila library’s Books page includes Avila’s searchable catalog, a list of all Avila e-book collections, and options for borrowing from other libraries.

Go to the Books Page


Some books can be found in the library, but most are kept in the library’s closed stacks. Stop by the library circulation desk or place a request in the library catalog to have a book brought up for you.

Publication Finder
You can search for books, journals, videos and more in Avila’s Publication Finder, or browse by subject or database. Publication finder works at the book/journal level, so you can’t use it to go straight to an article or chapter.

Skip the Search
Don’t want to search every time you find something? Consider LibKey Nomad, an extension you can add to your browser. When you find an article in Google Scholar or some other site, LibKey Nomad will check Avila’s collection and add a button that links to full-text if available.


Note: LibKey Nomad only works with articles.
