How to find a book?
… at IBTS
The IBTS Library Opac (Online Catalogue) contains all materials added since 2000 and almost all materials from before this time, including books, microformats, theses, audio-visual materials. For a comprehensive search of materials added before 2000 check also the card catalogue in the Main Hall.
The catalogue also lists which journals (not article titles), on paper or online, are available. See List of Periodicals and Online Databases when looking for journal articles.
