Basic Search

From the OPAC home, you can conduct a basic search of all materials owned by all libraries in your Evergreen system.

This search can be as simple as typing keywords into the search box and clicking the Search button. Or you can make your search more precise by limiting your search by fields to search, material type or library location.

The Homepage contains a single search box for you to enter search terms. You can get to the Homepage at any time by clicking the Basic Search link from the leftmost link on the bar above your search results in the catalog, or you can enter a search anywhere you see a search box.

You can select to search by:

• Keyword: finds the terms you enter anywhere in the entire record for an item, including title, author, subject, and other information.
• Title: finds the terms you enter in the title of an item.
• Journal Title: finds the terms you enter in the title of a serial bib record.
• Author: finds the terms you enter in the author of an item.
• Subject: finds the terms you enter in the subject of an item. Subjects are categories assigned to items according to a system such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings.
• Series: finds the terms you enter in the title of a multi-part series.
