LOOKING UP A BOOK Do you know- • The author? • The title? • The subject?
USING THE COMPUTER SCREEN • One button says author • One says title • One says subject • One says keyword • One says series
MAIN SCREEN • main.JPG
AUTHOR BUTTON Use Last name first to search what someone wrote example King, Martin Luther King, Stephen NOT Martin Luther King or Stephen King—THESE OPEN The alphabet at M or S not King
On Screen-see left side • Notice what you typed appears in BOLD letters at top left column
SUBJECT BUTTON • Think about what is truly the subject in simplest terms United States-History Impressionism-Art Trees Genetics Cloning
SUBJECT BUTTON-PEOPLE • For items about people (as subject of biography or autobiography) not as author Use subject button then- Last name first
TITLESIf you know the complete, accurate title, use this button. Here all item titles in the collection are shown in alphabetical order.
KEYWORD AND POWER BUTTONS • Search System defaults to “subject” even if hit keyword button on main screen. Use the Power tab instead (located in upper left) to do a • Keyword search
POWER TAB More useful for the times you know only a part of a title or want to see everything with that word in any record in the system. Can find all times Hemingway appears in any item record.
Why see Gates record? • Ernest Hemingway comes up but so does a co-author named Hemingway on a book about Bill Gates. It appears because you used power screen for searching all times Hemingway appears in any item record.
IN CLOSING • If you have questions after viewing the presentation come visit the library and we will help you. • Thank you for listening
