Search the library online catalog to fmd books, eBooks, and websites. Write down the call number and title of materials you select on the chart below.

Searching Tips To broaden your results: I) Truncate your term to the root using the asterisk *

(e.g., teen* will find records containing teen, teenage, teenager, teenagers, teens)

2) Use synonyms or related terms. (Sometimes you will need to think broader in order to find a book that contains a section or chapter on your topic.) Type all keywords in one search box and choose "any of these words" from the drop-down menu.

To narrow your results: 1) Combine keywords with the AND operator which will give you items containing both or all keywords.

2) Limit your search by subject.

3) Use "this exact phrase" from the drop-down menu to return only items that contain these words in this order.
