Search for books and online articles from UNLV Libraries and beyond using Quick Search.
The default search results will include books, online journal articles, newspaper articles, streaming video and more. Filters on the results page let you select materials by format, subject, date, or language, or you can opt to see only articles from peer-reviewed journals.
To find both available copies of a book and book reviews that discuss the book, search for part of its exact title in quotation marks: "The British Empire and the Armenian Genocide"
Reviews may be labeled Review or Article and you'll see the name of the reviewer and the journal that published the review. The book itself may show an image of the cover and you'll see either a call number or a link to read the ebook online.
WorldCat lets you identify books held by other libraries that you may be able to borrow from interlibrary loan.
