Searching: Keyword vs Alphabetical List

You can either do a keyword search or browse an alphabetical list to find the items you need.

Use keyword searching when:

you only know part of a title, author's name or subject heading
you want to combine search words from different parts of a record, i.e. part of a title with author's last name or 2 subject headings
you are trying to find a specific part of the contents: a song on music CD, a short story in an anthology, or a song in a music book

Use alphabetical list searching when:

you want to browse a short alphabetical list of authors, titles, subject headings, series titles or periodical titles
you aren't sure what the title, author's name, subject heading is but you know it starts with a specific word

This tutorial will explore keyword searching.
