Print Books
Print books or physical books can be looked up via 2 channels, the Library Catalog and the general Search portal. Once you find a book, make sure it is available and note down the call number, and pass by the library with your active HBKU ID card to borrow it.
Library Catalog
Type your search term and hit "search". You will be able to identify the type of item by the icon as well as the additional information provided for the books (location, call nbr, status, etc.)

Search Portal
Type the search terms and click "Search". On the results page, choose "Book / eBook" on the left side under Content Type. Please note that the results contain books as well as e-books. You may refine the search furthermore by selecting "Library Catalog" on the left. The number of e-books will be significantly less, and thus you may locate print books faster.
