The best place to start searching for  Adolescent or Young Adult Literature is in the Library Collection.  The terms are used interchangeably. 

We suggest you start with a Keyword search in Library Search. 

Adding the word "Adolescent" and/or "Young Adult" to a search term will also bring those items  to the top.   This is particularly effective when searching beyond our library collections. 

Using the Location Facet in combination with  a subject or a resource type is very effective for limiting your  search to the items available from our library.

To browse the library's collection of social issues and education books, look in the "300's and the "370's" section of the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme (below).

Remember education in specific subject areas is usually located within that Dewey area.  (eg. Music education - 780.71)

You can also use the Dewey Decimal categories to browse the library shelves in order to discover books on your topic.
