Useful Tips for Finding Books

Keyword Searching: Type your search term to run a basic keyword search.

Use words or phrases, not sentences.

   (Example: tilapia AND aquaculture)

   (Example: "endangered species")
 

Various search options include title, author, subject and other fields.
 

Search Limits: If you have too many results, select search limits.

A General Collection limit, for example, returns books that may be checked out.

You may also choose to limit the returns to Atherton or Waterfront Library.
