You may search in one of two ways.

Option 1: Specific Item Search

If you are searching for a specific item or items, and you know the item(s) you are looking for, click inside the SEARCH FOR text field. If it is the title you know (or part of it), enter as much of the title as you know. If the WITHIN box does not display the word "TITLE", click on the down arrow beside it, and select the word "TITLE". Then click on the search button. After a few seconds (normally), the screen will display the results of the search.
If, instead of the title, you know the author (or part of the name), enter as much of the author as will match the name stored on the file. If the WITHIN box does not display the word "AUTHOR", click on the down arrow beside it, and select the word "AUTHOR". Then click on the search button. After a few seconds (normally), the screen will display the results of the search.

If, instead of the title or author, you know the ISBN or the supplier code (or part of it), enter as many characters as you know. If the WITHIN box does not display the word "ISBN" or "CODE", click on the down arrow beside it, and select the appropriate word. Then click on the search button. After a few seconds (normally), the screen will display the results of the search.
