Searching by title or author

You can type the author’s name or the title into the search bar

You can also use the drop down bar to search by title or author

If you do not type anything in the box and click “search” it will browse through the catalog.

IF YOU WANT TO DO AN EXACT SEARCH

Unlike doing a search on Google or other web engines, you don’t need to put your query in quotes to make sure it is exact. If you wish to search for dinosaurs you can pick subject in the drop down and type dinosaurs in box. This will look for all materials in the library having to do with dinosaurs.
