Combo Search

To search our catalog using the Combo Search:
Enter the Search Term(s) in the appropriate field(s) and select the Search button. This search can narrow your results by combining Author, Title, and/or Subject searches.
Note: If you enter a term in more than one field, the terms are automatically joined by the Boolean operator AND - thus, narrowing your search. However, you do not have to enter terms in more than one field to receive results.

Expert Search

To search our catalog using the Expert Search:
Click a Search Type and enter criteria in the corresponding Search Terms(s) field. If necessary, specify additional searches and join them with the appropriate Boolean operators. The following operators are available:

• AND -- narrows your search, reducing the number of results. All search terms must be met for a record to be returned.
• OR -- broadens your search, increasing the number of results. Only one of your search terms must be met for a record to be returned.
• AND NOT -- satisfies an initial Search Term and eliminates another.

You can perform complex searches using the Boolean operators described above to join up to three search terms. This allows you to generate more precise results.
