Add A Tag

You can add a tag to any item in the Library's catalog. For example, if you are working on a project, you may decide to tag all of the relevant materials to that topic. Or, if you are interested in a hobby, you may want to tag items relevant to the hobby. This social function of the catalog helps you, and others, find materials. In essence, you are helping the Library by adding more keywords to our catalog of items. You can then search the catalog by these terms and refine your materials by tags. 

Request An Item

Once you have found an item you want to borrow, you can have it reserved by requesting it in one of three spots.

Advanced Search

Anywhere you see the general search box, you will see a link to the advanced search. Advanced search gives you several options to make your search more specific. You can choose to include or include materials based on their author, title, subject, keyword, format, library location, language or year. You can add multiple "and," "or" or "not" lines by clicking the buttons for those words.

Refine Your Search

You can reduce the number of items that are returned in your search results based on several different fields. Click one or more options on the left side of the search results page to refine your results. Choices include options for availability, found in, format, collection, location, and more.
