Let's search the Library Catalog!
When you see this yellow box, read it and click on the "Next" button to continue.
I saw the Lord of the Rings movies - 10 hours of extended cuts - and I want to read the book. Let me try a "Word(s) Anywhere" search.
Hmmm. Most of these aren't what I need.
A "Word(s) Anywhere" search is good if I'm not sure what I need. Right now, though, I know what I want.
This is a browse list of titles. I'll choose the 2002 edition of Lord of the Rings...
I can also search by title, author, subject, and call number.
I'm not so sure on some of those, but I definitely know the title. I'll try a "Title begins with..." search.
This is a browse list of titles. I'll choose the 2002 edition of Lord of the Rings...
Here we can see the author, the title, the number of copies the library owns, the number of copies on the shelf (the others would be checked out), and the year.
If we click on the title, we can find out more about the book.
Here's the full record. You can find out everything you saw on the other screen, plus the publisher, contents, and more.
The Subject is important, as it can help you choose different words for your search.
Wait! I'm not in the library! How can I make sure I have this for later? By using the Save/Mail option, I can email this record.
Click on "Go", and you're done!
Now, go to http://library.cortland.edu and try searching the catalog for yourself.
