Search Tips
Search the Stephens Library Catalog to find physical materials and eBooks held at Stephens Library. The MOBIUS Catalog is also a good option to broaden your search for print books to libraries across Missouri.
Try using the phrase “counseling” to get started, or use more specific terms for the field you’re researching.
Use the advanced search function and search for these phrases as subject terms to find materials about that term (rather than narrowing to a specific title).
Here are some other examples:
Therapy
Self-help
Rehabilitate
In addition, use the filters on the left hand side of the catalog to narrow or broaden your search.
