Ways to Search in the Library Catalog

There are several options for searching the Library Catalog:

Type of Search What It Does
Search/Home A keyword search for items by words or phrases anywhere including title, author, subject, and periodical title.
Power Search Allows you to search with more flexibility: for example, you can search for multiple phrases, two authors at the same time, by format (music, audio visual material), or by date range.
Reserve Desk To find course materials placed on reserve by an instructor.
My Account To see a list of books you have checked out, to renew books, or see any fines

In this section of Searchpath, we will learn about Basic Search, Course Reserve searches, how to get books from Las Positas College to come to Chabot, and show you how to check Your Library Account.
