How to Use the Catalog

• A catalog computer terminal for patrons is located next to the check-out desk.  Moving the mouse or pressing the Enter key will activate the monitor.  Click on Help if you need more information about specific catalog features.  Glover-Spencer Memorial Library's catalog is not accessible over the internet.
• For simple searches select the Easy Search tab (the default display).  Select the search type:  author, title, subject, or keyword.  Type in the search term and click on the Search button.  When searching for an author, the last name may suffice, or add the initial or full name in reverse order: (Jakes, John) or (Jakes, J).
• For more complex searches involving more than one criteria, or to limit criteria, search with Boolean operators.  First, select the Expanded Search tab.  Enter your search terms in the Search for box(es).  In the row between search terms, select the Boolean operators you want to use (and, or, or and not).
• You can broaden material searches by using the wildcard character (*).  When using the wildcard character with key words, you need at least three characters before the wildcard character.  All other types of wildcard searches (title, author, subject, and so on) can be done using at least one character before the wildcard character.
