Use Subject Headings you know (these must be exact!)
If subject is a name, last name first. Note exceptions for medieval geographical and honorific names.
For topical subject headings, elements must be in exact order.

Use LINUS, the Library's catalog to find books, E-books, videos and other materials that LMU owns or has on reserve. Use the dropdown to change the kind of search you want to do (see boxes at left and right for explanations of Keyword vs. Subject Heading searches).
Most primary sources for Medieval Philosophy in the West were written in Latin, and, in the East, in Greek. If you read Latin, you can use the searchable Patrologia Latina database to read the works of these early writers, or concord a word or phrase. If you read Greek, you can use the Patrologia Graeca in .pdf. But don't be downhearted if you don't know Latin or Greek. Good translations work just fine for most undergrad purposes.
However, if you're going on in Philosophy, you can take classes here at LMU to learn either or both of these languages, or others, which are keys to opening centuries of Western and Eastern scholarship.
See LINUS, the Library’s catalog, for original texts and translations, philosophical monographs, (commentaries, critiques, re-evaluations), anthologies, etc.
ebrary books are identified in LINUS as 'electronic resource'; these are online searchable, markable monographs (create your own Bookshelf to take full advantage). You can limit to "Philosophy, Medieval" in the search box.

Make a good guess and search by Keyword. You can search with a word or short phrase. You can narrow down too many results by combining your first word or phrase with another word or phrase, using AND as the connector. For example:
