Do you know your A-B-C's and 1-2-3's?

Then finding a book in our library is easy by doing a simple TASK!

Use OPAC!

This is what the top left corner of the screen looks like. 

Type what you are looking for in the search line, then click on one of the buttons.

Chances are, you'll find what you need with Title, Author, or Subject search.  If not, you might try Series or Keyword.

An easy way to remember is to think of the word TASKS!

	The name of the book.
	The person (or one of the persons) that wrote the book.
	What the book is about.
	A word that is somehow in the record of the book.
	A group of books that have something in common.  Examples:  Little House Books, Harry Potter books, Cam Jansen Mysteries.

1.  If you type "Seuss" in the search bar, which button do you click on?

2.  You love dogs and want to read some fiction stories.  If you type "dog" in the search bar, what button do you click?

3.  If you type "Magic Tree House" in the search bar, which button do you click on?

4.  Do you have to type in the whole title or name to find something?

Yes           No

5.  I know there is a little girl in the story and her name is something Jones.  If I type "Jones" in the search bar, which button do you click on?

6.  I saw the movie, but I hear the book is better.  If I type "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the search bar, which button do I click on?

Sorry, that is the wrong answer.

Please click on "" in the upper left corner of your screen.

Oops, I think you'd better look at it again...

please go back.

  Yes!  "Seuss" is the last name of an author.

to question #2

   You're right! 

"Dog" is the subject, what you want the book to be about.

Question #3

  You could use "Keyword",
but there is another choice you should try first.

Back to question #2

You got it again! 

"Magic Tree House" is the name of a Series.

Question #4

Yes!  The answer is "No"

You do not have to type a whole word, name or title to do a search. 
You should spell the first part a correctly as possible.

to question #5

Right again! 
A Keyword will show up anywhere in the record. 
You might find "John Paul Jones",
but you should also find the little girl "Junie B. Jones"!

Question #6

Poof!!!

 The Title did the trick, I know where to find the book!
