Byzantine Art and Civilization

To find books about a topic, search in the library catalog and type in words that occur to you to describe your topic.  If the first terms you type do not give you the results you want, try typing in various ways of describing your topic.  Then, once you find some books that look like what you want, click on their titles and then click on the " Subjects" links that appear in the full records for those books.  You will now probably find even more books on the same topic.  (For example, if you type "Byzantium,"  you will find a few relevant books, but clicking on the subject heading "Byzantine Empire"  will reveal additional books to choose from.)

Your results will probably include printed books that can be found in the library building, as well as electronic books that can be read online.  You can tell which books are printed books because a location in the building is indicated as part of its record.  E-books have no physical location indicated, and the words "Electronic" and "eBook" usually appear at the bottom of the record in your list of results.  Click on the links above those words to read the book online.
