Overview of UBC Library Homepage:

Blue bar under “UBC Library” – provides links to information about the library, branch web pages, the catalogue, journals (print & electronic), e-Resources, and under Services for You, information tailored specifically for undergraduate students.

Note the quick drop-down menus, for additional links under the named links

The OneSearch feature is a quick way to enter a simple search. It generates links to results for books or other items in the catalogue; articles or papers; journal titles; Library website pages & general web pages.
N.B. – this is a basic-level search – for more precise, comprehensive results, be sure to use more focused resources such as the catalogue, or a particular journal index or database.

Catalogue:

There are 3 search screens: basic, guided keyword and course reserve.

At the bottom of each of the search screens, there is a Help section.

The Simple Search tab:
The default search is Keyword ranked by relevance (it links keywords using OR) and is generally not that helpful, as it finds too many “irrelevant” items.

The second keyword option uses boolean operators and is better for research, as your results are more precise.
Example: “sale of goods” and Canada

Use the Journal/Ejournal Title search box if you are looking for a particular journal title, such as the Harvard Law Review
• you can find where print copies are located
• you can find links to electronic copies (dates of coverage vary)

The Guided Keyword search allows you to search for specific terms in a number of different fields.
Example: irwin law (as a phrase in the publisher field) and criminal (in the title field)

Note:
• Once you find a book on your research topic, be sure to go to the full record. The record will give you a complete call number and indicate where the book is shelved.
• The full record of a book also lets you find more books on the topic, simply by clicking on the appropriate subject heading(s).

The UBC Library homepage has 4 main sections in the middle of the page:
