Searching for a title in the library catalog

Your results will look much like the results you got for your author search. Often when searching for titles, you will find more than one item with that title. When this happens, examine each choice beginning with the first, unless there is a clear indication that the first is NOT the one you are looking for. The title may also appear in a compilation of stories, like the first item below.

As in the author search we examined earlier, when you click on the link more information will display. Below is a record from the list.

To retrieve this book, check to make sure it's available first ("Not Charged"), then note down its call number and location.
