Library Catalog: Keyword Search

Return to the tutorials home page.

Perform a title search in the library catalog (Skyline) when you have a research topic, but not a particular book title, in mind.

  1. Make sure the menu is set on "Keyword."
  2. Enter your keywords in the box. Connect them with the word "and." Press go.
  3. Click on the title of a book that looks interesting. You will get a screen with more information about the book.
  4. Make sure the book is available!
  5. Write down the call number. You're ready to find your book.
  6. To find more books on your topic, look at the subject headings. Click on them to find other books with the same subject heading.
  7. Remember to ask a librarian if you have any questions!
