Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning (LARP) - Research Guide

Books

To find books at UMass, use the Five Colleges Library Catalog and select the UMass link. Be as specific as possible in your searching. Start with a subject search (use keywords if subjects yield no results). Try broad categories, browsing the sub-topics. Try the Advanced Search option and limit by date,language, format or with additional words.

If UMass doesn't have the book(s) you need, try the other Four Colleges.

If the book is not available in the Five College Library System, you may order it through InterLibrary Loan.

TIP: Use UMA WorldCat when UMass and Five College searches are not sufficient.

Keyword searching may give way to useful SUBJECT HEADINGS (shown at the bottom of each online catalog result). You may click on these subject headings to see other items in the catalog indexed under the same term.  Or try a subject search using one of the following subject headings:
