Search Tips Summary

  • No need to use capital letters in the Library catalog.
  • Use a ($) to find variant endings of a word.  The $ is the truncation (used to shorten the word) symbol that is used in the catalog.
  • You can select a connector (AND, OR, or NOT), but usually you'll want to leave this as AND.
