If the Mabee Library does not have access to a particular article or book, you may request a copy through Interlibrary Loan. This free service normally takes 2-3 days for journals and 2-7 days for books.

Mabee Library organizes the book collection using the Library of Congress Classification System, which is a combination of letters and numbers.

Kinesiology books will mostly be found in the QP303 call number. Books on sports and recreation are mostly found in the GV call number.

Boolean searching can help you find accurate results quickly.

Use Boolean operators to link search words to get more accurate results.

Common Boolean Terms:

• AND - results will contain both terms
• OR - results will have at least one of the terms
• NOT - results will exclude this term
• * - use this symbol to truncate words (the results will have the root with all possible variations)
• "quotation marks" - results will contain the exact phrase

Keep in mind that Boolean search operators vary from database to database. Click the "HELP" button (usually located next to the search template) to get specifics
