Physical Books Step 1: Searching by Author

To search for a book by author, start at the Library Homepage at https://library.niagara.edu.

Click on Library Catalog, which will open in a new tab.

 

You'll see the catalog's Advanced Search page. Although this includes an author field, an easier way is to just click on the Author search on the left.

 

Enter the author's name, for example: George Kelly.

 

The results will show the author(s) whose names match. In this case, there is more than one George Kelly, but their birth & death dates are provided. Check your textbook, or a Google search (such as george kelly psychology) to determine which is the right one.

 

Our research shows that the psychologist George Kelly lived from 1905 to 1967, so click on the second link in the results.

 

The results page will show all books by that author.
