Find Books
Search the Catalog
The catalog is your gateway to all of the information that Preus Library provides access to. This includes physical books, journals, sheet music, and media, as well as e-books and articles from online databases.
If you only want books that Preus Library owns, use the Held By Library filter along the left side of your search results and check the box next to Luther College.
Head to the Stacks
When you find a book you want to read, you'll need the book's call number, so write it down or have it handy. A call number is basically a book's GPS location within the library. Books with call numbers that start with the letters A - L will be on the lower floor of the library; books with call numbers that start with the letters M - Z will be on the upper floor.
Here's what to look for in the catalog:
TIP: Browse
The library is organized by subject, so if you're headed to the stacks for a book, be sure to scan the shelves around it too. You'll likely find more books on your topic!
