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 Meader Library.
