Mat-Su College: Psychology

You can find print books using the library catalog. The library catalog is an online list of all the books, movies, CDs, video games, and other physical items our library owns. It can also show what other local libraries have.

Start by getting to the Mat-Su College Library webpage. You can do this by clicking the "Library" link at the top of any Mat-Su College page:

Next, enter your search terms in the "Just Mat-Su" search box:

Press enter. In the search results page you will see books, CDs, movies, and the like:

To find a physical item, locate it using its call number (listed underneath the Call # heading). If you're not familiar with how call numbers are used to arrange items in the library, ask a librarian to help you find the item you want!

In the library catalog, you can switch from searching only the Mat-Su College library to searching most Alaska libraries. Do this by using the drop-down menu next to the search bar. Select "All Collections":

​

Now try your search again using your original (or new) search terms. You now see items from other libraries. Click "Place Hold" next to an item to have these sent to Mat-Su College for free.

You will be asked for your University username and password. After logging in, choose which library to have the item delivered to. Make sure to choose Mat-Su College or whatever library you prefer:

Once the item gets here, we'll call to let you know you can pick it up.

Some books are only available as ebooks. You can access tens of thousands of ebooks through the University.

Ebook Central is a good, easy to use ebook collection. We recommend starting here.

UAA's eBooks page lists other options. It has a search box to search all ebook sources at once, as well as links to individual eBook collections that you can browse through.
