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, which allows you to search and borrow items from 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 5,000 results.
- Using the "Full-text" option under Limit To and "Keyano College" under Library Location the results are narrowed to 681 results. You can narrow these results even further by using limiters such as Resource Type, Publication Date, Subject, 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).
