Entering Search Terms

The Search screen will open in the Advanced search mode with the Table of Contents (TOC) pane on the left. The Search view tab is now selected. As noted under the Advanced Search banner, you should enter your search string in the Search terms: box and no more than one additional box, if needed. (Be sure to click the Help button to the right of the search box to retrieve additional information about how Advanced Search boxes should be combined.) In this scenario, we have entered the term "colophon" in the Search terms: box.

In this simulation, enter a check mark in the check box next to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, then click the Search button.
