To search for materials in all the libraries on campus, use the Library Catalogue.
The most used search options are:
To search for a TITLE:
|
To search for an AUTHOR:
|
To search for a SUBJECT: When you visit the library, you will frequently be looking for books ABOUT a certain topic, place or person. To find these types of books, you must do a SUBJECT search on MORRIS.
|
To Search for KEYWORD: To search for keywords anywhere in the MORRIS record, choose the KEYWORD(S) ANYWHEREindex. Place an asterisk (*) after each word to broaden the possible search term (e.g. genealog* will look for the words genealogy, genealogical, genealogist, etc).
Interpreting the Record If your search found only one item, it's bibliographic record will appear on the screen. Information will include the title, author, subject headings, and publishing information. Beneath this will be the holdings information. This will tell you which campus library the item is housed in, as well as its location within the library and call number. To find out if the item is on the shelf, click on Current Location and Status on the left side of the screen. The next screen will tell you if the title is available. To find the book on the shelf, make note of the location and call number. To determine which floor your book is located on use a Mills Library Book Locator slip. These can be found next to the computers in the library. If your search resulted in multiple titles, click on each individual title to access the full record. |
