PLANNING

Use UCLID (UC's Library Catalog) to locate books, periodicals, videos, and other materials owned by UC, and the OhioLINK catalog for items owned by other Ohio college and university libraries. There are several ways to search the catalog.    Search Tips for UCLID and OhioLINK has detailed searching tips.

Examples of subject headings and subdivisions:

Regional Economics
Housing - United States - Statistics
Land use, Urban
City Planning - Citizen Participation
Community Development
Cities and Towns

Keyword searching allows you to search specific words in the title, author, some table of contents (chapter titles), and publisher as well as subject headings.

The request button (located at the top of the page) allows you to request books from other UC libraries and select where you would like the item delivered.    For books not owned in the UC libraries or those currently checked out, you may use the request feature in OhioLINK.

Local, national and international library catalogs may also be valuable sources of additional information.
