Search for all books added to the Payton Library in the last 90 days
Enter a keyword that describes your topic.
In the library catalog IUCAT, it is usually best to keep your search simple.
Examples: bilingual education; gothic architecture; greek utopias; cochlear implants.
Review the search results page for relevant items. The results page includes basic information on an item like title, publication date, format, and campuses that have the item.
NOTE: If you only want books you can access immediately, limit the campus to Indianapolis. If a book isn't in Indianapolis, you can still get it. Click on the title to get more information on the book, then click
to have the book delivered to IUPUI.
When you find a relevant book, click on the Title to see the full record.
The full catalog record includes subject headings that describe what a book is about. To find more books with the same heading click on that heading.
Write down call numbers of relevant books (or text them to your phone through IUCAT).
Books are organized on the shelves by subject, so when you find a book on the shelf browse the section for other relevant books.
Your catalog search may include items with call numbers from more than one area, so you may want to browse more than just one area.
Here is a list of suggested subject headings to browse in the catalog. This list is not inclusive of all subjects relevant to philanthropic studies!
Books are arranged using the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) system.
If you wish to physically browse the shelves, listed below are the starting call numbers of some of the most commonly sought topics in the collection. Most philanthropy and nonprofit management books are located in the Joseph & Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library on the 2nd floor of University Library, but many relevant books are shelved on the 3rd and 4th floors in the general collection.

We have been investing in ebooks for many years and have a wide variety available. We are also buying ebooks through our On Demand service (books already listed in the catalog) or with a request to a librarian.
If you cannot find ebooks in your topics in our catalog please contact me. While not all books are available for libraries to buy in ebook, am happy to check, and if I can't buy the exact book you want I will find you alternatives.
