Search the online Library Catalog for books in Blackwell Library. You can search by Title, Author, Subject or Keyword, or you can do a browse search. The books you can check out say "Stacks" before the call number and are located on the second floor of the library. If you feel like browsing, here is a website that explains Library of Congress Classification, which is how books are organized in our library.

Suggested Keywords

Students often have a hard time getting started with research because coming up with appropriate search terms can be a big challenge. Sometimes researchers try to use terms that are too broad and they get way too many results, and other times terms that are too narrow may not yield any results at all. This list of keywords can help you get started. You can add the name of a company, industry, country, war, ethnic group, or whatever your topic is focused on to some of these terms for more relevant results.

conflict resolution	peace education	leadership development
conflict transformation	organizational development	intercultural conflict
conflict management	dialogue	cross cultural conflict
environmental conflict	collaboration	intercultural communication
dispute management	consensus	social psychology
dispute settlement	consensus building
peace studies	negotiation

Books from Other USMAI Libraries

If you are a student, faculty, or staff member of Salisbury University, you have access to the library collections of all of the University of Maryland affiliated universities through our shared library catalog. To borrow a book from another campus, follow these steps:

Select "Choose Campus" from the menu at the top
Choose a campus or USMAI for all the campuses
Perform the search
When you find a book you want that is not at SU, click on the location link
Click the request button if the item is available
Log in with the information from your Gull Card and complete the request
The book will be available for you to pick up in Blackwell in 3-5 business days

Books from Interlibrary Loan/Worldcat

Interlibrary Loan is a great tool that allows you to borrow a book from libraries outside the USMAI system. Before you submit a request, make sure that we don't own the book here at SU or at one of the other USMAI institutions. If not, you can submit a request through ILL Express.

You can also search Worldcat, which is a huge catalog of materials from libraries all over the world. If the book you want is in a library, chances are pretty good you will find it in Worldcat!
If you find the book you want and you know it is not available at SU or any USMAI campus, then you can click the Find It button and then request the book through Interlibrary Loan. The advantage of doing it this way is that you don't have to fill in all the information about the book!
