How can I filter my search results in the library catalogue?
Answer
The Library Catalogue allows you to search for books, articles, videos, journals, videos, and eBooks, including items from the NEOS Catalogue, which allows you to search and borrow items from 18 library systems across Alberta. The library catalogue is an easy all-in-one way to begin your research and using limiters to narrow search results can make finding the resources you need much easier.
Search example:
- An initial keyword search for "Fort McMurray" has over 199,000 results.
- Using the "Full-text" option and "Available in Library Collection" limiters the results are narrowed to just over 55,000 results. This is the total number of resources available in the NEOS catalogue.
You can narrow these results even further by using limiters such as source type, date of publication, geography, and language.
Consider using the "Advanced Search" option to use Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT) or search by subject term (e.g. nursing, mathematics, history).
