To find books, government documents and other materials (not journal articles) owned by Maag Library for Grants, search MaagNet, the Library's online public access catalog (OPAC). MaagNet is searchable by subject, keyword, author or title. If you have difficulty locating the correct subject heading, it may help to consult the Library of Congress Subject Headings, a set of large red books located behind the Reference Desk. You may also want to search the OhioLINK Central Catalog for materials owned by other libraries in OhioLINK.

Sample SUBJECT searches:  Grants-in-aid; Fund Raising; Federal Aid to Education
