Anatomy Resources: Keyword

Keyword searches look for resources using any words that describe your topic.

Now you can take the words from the list and combine them to search the catalog.

Put one word in the search box and search and see what you get. (Example: dental anatomy)

To search for books and videos using keywords:

1. Go to the Library Catalog.
2. Click on Keyword.
3. Enter words in the search box that describe your topic.
4. The catalog will search through all of our records looking for those words in the title, author, notes, publisher, etc...
5. A listing of books/videos matching those keywords will be retrieved.
6. If you find a book you would like to see, click on the title to get the call number and location information.
7. When the record for the book opens on the screen you will see your keywords highlighted in red to show you why this book came up on the list.

Don't put an entire sentence in the search box!

Start off slowly.

Put one word and then search.

Then add another.

This way if all of a sudden you don't get any hits, you know you should take the last word added and change it to something else.
