Click on the SEARCH button. Then type what you're looking for in the QUERY box. This can be an author's name, a title, a subject, or a keyword. In most cases this will bring up what you are looking for. Make sure everything is spelled correctly. The catalog cannot retrieve words or names it does not recognize.
If you wish to refine your search use the INDEX menu. Select the kind of search you are asking for, again this would be author, title, subject, etc.
Use the RELEVANCE menu to refine your search even further.
Once your SEARCH RESULTS are listed, use the menu along the left side of the page to narrow down your results. Clicking the BLUE CIRCLE beside each subject heading will REMOVE those subjects from your list.
You can request or put a reserve on books listed as IN PROCESS. Those will be added to your waiting list and come to you as soon as they are available.
