Heading Search

The Heading Search screen lets you . . .

• Search for terms in specific categories such as Author, Title, and Subject.
• Obtain a list of hyperlinked searches rather than a list of library items.

---

For instance, if you know an author's last name is Smith but you are unsure of the first name, a Heading Search for Smith as author will return a list of all authors in the library's database with the last name Smith.

To perform a heading search, type your desired search term(s) in the search text box, and choose the category in which you would like to search:

• Author
  • Examples:
  • Hemingway
  • Ernest Hemingway
  • Hemingway, Ernest

• Subject
  • Examples:
  • motorcycles
  • dogs
  • oil futures

• Title
  • Examples:
  • For Whom the Bell Tolls
  • bell tolls
