Searching Our Collection

There are a couple of different ways that you can find our historical books.

Browse our historical books, OR search for a specific title or topic in our catalog!

DMU Library Catalog
All print and digital books can be accessed from the library catalog. The catalog also lists older print journals, flashcards, anatomical models, and items in the Rare Book Room.

First, click on "Advanced Search" on the library catalog page.

Then select "Historical Collection" from the "Location" dropdown menu.

Next, add your search terms and click submit.

If you are unsure whether a book is historical, all books in our special collections will have the "Historical Collection" location designation.
