Q. A friend of mine had borrowed a book out of Stapleton awhile back about self-sustainable living. It touched on topics like growing vegetables,

From the description you gave, I wasn't able to identify a specific book. However, I would suggest searching the PILOT online catalog under these subject headings: Environmentalism, Organic Living, Green Movement, or Sustainable Living. To search the catalog, go to the Library Home Page (www.iup.edu/library)and click on "Online Catalog". This will connect you to the PILOT catalog which includes all the materials available from the IUP Library. Once connected to PILOT, select the "Subject Heading Search" option and then enter one of the subjects above. Then, follow the menus to find the information about particular books. Another approach would be to browse the collection. It looks like a lot of the books covered by the topics above are found in the "GE" section on 2nd floor of Stapleton Library. This section contains materials on Ecology, the Environment, and "Green" Living.
