First you will need to locate the Index to Early English books, which is shelved in the reference section of the library.
Accessing Early English Books, Sixteen Forty-One to Seventeen Hundred by To find a book on a topic, you must consult the subject index, vol. 3. It is organized alphabetically. For example, if you're interested in navigation, open the subject index to N, and note the books listed under Navigation. Copy their citation, as well as the reel number, listed in bold on the bottom right corner of the description.
