Once on the site, click on the WebOPAC
logo and choose whether to do a Leftstring
search (when you know the start of the author's
name or title) or a Pattern search (when
you know some of the words--not necessarily
the first one), or are looking up a topic
Then choose whether to do an Author search,
a Title Search, a Subject search…,
key in the name or word(s) you are looking
for and search away. Use the Help button
when you want to know more about searching.

Always type just enough
to retrieve what you want-but no more.
The more you fill in, the more chance
there is of a misspelling or some other
mismatch with what is on the system.
For example:
Behavio will bring up both behavior
(US spelling) and behaviour (British
spelling). Typing in one of these complete
will mean you miss the other.
Similarly, organi will bring
up organisation and organization.
Steinbeck will bring up entries
typed as Steinbeck, John or Steinbeck,
J

If at first you don't
succeed, try another approach.
If a leftstring title search doesn't
work, try one of the title's keywords
as a pattern search. Never give up after
one failure to retrieve what you want.
