USING THE ONLINE CATALOG

Books - You may use the online catalog [http://library.ua.edu] to obtain the location and call number of print books in the UA Libraries. The catalog will also tell you if UA Libraries has a license for an electronic book. You may search by Book title, Book author or editor (last name first), Keyword, Subject heading, and other options.

Journal title - You may also search by the title of the journal to determine whether the library has a subscription to the journal title, electronically or in print; and which years of a journal title are available electronically and which years are available in print.

UA Theses - You may also use the online catalog to locate UA Master's and Ph. D. theses by searching as an Author the following: university of alabama. dept of (name here).

Click below for lists of UA theses awarded in electrical and computer engineering, including earlier department name.
