Where are the psychology books in the library?

BF - 3rd Floor North, these are books about psychology

RC - 4th Floor South, these are books about counseling and psychiatry

These aren't the only places you will find resources. Because psychology covers lots of other areas, you will find books in education, criminal justice, ethnic studies, business, and many more.

Where to search for books and ebooks?

For books in our library and ebooks we have access to, search the MU Catalog:

What about books the library doesn't have?

You can request anything we don't have on ILL or E-ZBorrow. Search E-ZBorrow or Worldcat to see what is available to borrow.

We have a large number of reference books and handbooks to support psychology and counseling. These sources provide background information, summary information, and topic overviews in psychology research.

Use them to help choose a research topic, understand the current empirical research on a topic, and discover key questions in the field. The bibliographies will help guide you in the existing scholarship on a topic.
