UR Catalog
Use the UR Catalog to search specifically for books, journal titles -- NOT articles -- and other materials available at the University of Rochester Library. Search by Title, Author, Subject Heading, Keyword(s) or Call Number.

Game theory is a very interesting, multi-disciplinary topic. If you search Game Theory as a Subject in UR Catalog, you'll see the results have all kinds of different call numbers and locations. Probably most of the ones you might be interested in will be classed either as HB144, located on level 300 of Rush Rhees Library, or QA269 - and located either on level 400 in Rhees, or 3rd floor in the Carlson Library. Pretty confusing, but just ask for help if you need it.

WorldCat
Use the WolrdCat to search for books and other materials available at many libraries world wide. Books owned by UR River Campus Libraries are identified and it is easy to place an Interlibrary Loan request from within the WorldCat webpages for a book the UR River Campus Libraries do not own.

Submit an ILL request

Preference will be to acquire the eBook format where available. Please indicate in the Notes field if you would prefer that we acquire the print format.
