Searching the library

catalog

Once upon a time library catalogs looked like this!

Now the catalog is online!

But how do you look for

what you need?

There are 2 different

ways!

In this case it is ‘keyword’.

You could enter a search term

in the basic search box and click on

one of the searchcriteria.

And here are your results

Call number of the book

Is it in or out?

This page shows the books and ebooks

If you click here, you can find web sites

...or here and you can find information on the

databases!

There is another way to search...

Destiny calls it a ‘Power Search’ but it’s also known as ‘Advanced Search’

Click here for Power Search

Make sure you fill in the form

with your search terms and also click the Online

Resources box

When you tick that box you can make choices of which

databases to search

You will probably still have

questions! If so, just contact Ms. Merrick in the

library
