Skip to Main ContentLibrary Search is a great starting place for your research. It's the main search field in the middle of the Library homepage. You can use this to search The Claremont Colleges Library collections, other campus collections and libraries worldwide.
Use Library Search to find print books, eBooks, articles, newspaper resources, tangible media (CDs/DVDs), streaming media, objects available in tech lending, special collections holdings and more!
If an item shows as "Held by Other Libraries" you may request the item through resource sharing by clicking on the "Get This Item" button.
Books are a core resource in mathematics, and you will likely want to both search the Library website and browse the shelves of the math collection to find books for your research.
Using Library Search you can search by keyword, author, title, subject, etc.
Browsing the collection is a great way to find valuable books that slip through a typical library catalog search. In academic libraries in the United States, books are grouped by subject, and the call numbers correspond to those subjects. Using the Library of Congress (LC) subclassifications list below, you can identify an area of the collection to explore.
