Searching by Keyword - Classic Catalog

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

Make a list of words that refer to your topic.

Put one word in the search box and search and see what you get. (Example: termination AND business, business AND meeting*, interview*)

* means truncation, which allows to search a portion of a word.  For example: interview* will
  retrieve the keywords interviews, interviewing, interviewed, interviewer, etc.

HINTS

Did you know that you can limit your search to a particular campus?

When searching for a book, look to the right of the search box.  There is a box that says "All Campuses."  Click on the down arrow on this box and select the campus you want to search. 

Did you know that you can request a book from another campus?

Just fill out a form at your campus library and it will be sent to your campus. (Takes a few days to arrive.)
