Set Search Limits in the Library Catalog

https://www.screencast.com/t/ADRUsHU67iYE

Setting search limits in the Milner catalog.

This video will show you how to use some of the limit options in the Milner Library catalog.

  • From the Library's home page, go to the search box under Start Your Research.
  • Choose Advanced Search.
  • Change Everything to Library Catalog under Search for.
  • On the Advanced Search page, the Search for option at the top lets you choose whether you want to search the library catalog, which searches items available from Milner Library; journal articles, which searches for articles from a selection of databases; Course Reserves, which searches items at Milner Library for courses; All I-Share Libraries, which searches the catalogs of the 90+ academic  libraries throughout Illinois called I-Share; or Everything, which searches all of the other options on the menu at the same time.
  • There are search boxes where you can enter your search terms.  
  • There are also two dropdowns next to each box.
  • You can change the Keyword dropdown to search by Title, Author/Creator, Subject, Call Number, and more.
  • The Contains dropdown searches for any items that contain what you enter in the box.
    • You can also use it to search for:
      • Contains exact phrase, which works best for searches like Title where you want to find exactly what you enter in the box, and
      • Starts With, which searches for items that start with what you enter in the box when you are doing a Title search.
  • To the right of that are several limit options.
  • One of the most used options is Material Type, which allows you to limit to journals, books, articles, images, sound recordings, music scores, video/film, and dissertations.
  • The next limit is Language, which provides a dropdown of languages listed alphabetically.
  • Start Date and End Date allow you to enter a range of publication dates that you want your resources to fall within.
  • As an example, let’s look for Spanish poetry.
  • I want to find only items available at Milner Library, so I’ll change Everything to Library Catalog, and I want to look for poetry as a subject, so I’ll change Keyword to Subject and enter poetry.
  • I’ll go to Language and select Spanish.
  • Choose Search.
  • This list of results provides Spanish language poetry.
  • There are ways to limit the search further by using the options under Tweak your results on the left side of the screen.
  • The options you may find the most helpful include:
    • Sort By, which is set to relevance by default, but you can also change it to Date-Newest, Date-oldest, Title, or Author;
    • Availability, where you can choose Available online to narrow to only items you can access online, peer-reviewed journals to get only journals that are reviewed by experts in the field to make sure they are reliable, or Held by library to get only physical items at Milner Library;
    • Resource Type, which different formats of items including books, journals, audio and videos;
    • Subject, which provides a list of topics for the results to let you hone your topic;
    • Location, which lets you narrow to books from a specific area of the library, such as the Teaching Materials Center;
    • Creation Date, which allows you to change the date range for your items;
    • Genre, which offers different genres and types of items, including fiction, picture books, and eBooks;
    • And Language, which lets you choose the languages you want your items to use.
  • When you find a book that looks interesting, you can use the options on the right, including permalink or email, to get a link to the item you could copy or that you can email yourself to get back to the item later.
  • There’s also a pin option that lets you login to your Milner/I-Share account and save the item to your favorites list.
  • When you choose the permalink and e-mail options, it opens the tools menu that you also see under Tools on the page for the item. Other tools include getting a QR code to scan with your phone, export options for RIS and Bibtex files and EndNote, an option that generates suggested citations for the item in a variety of styles, and an option to print the listing for the item.

Find Articles

Use the Everything Search Box

https://www.screencast.com/t/6WZbINHG

How to use the Everything search box.

This video will show how to search for many different types of resources using the Everything search box on the Library's Home page. Everything searches the Milner catalog, items put on reserve by your professors for your classes, catalogs of the 90+ academic libraries we share with throughout Illinois called I-Share, and journal articles from a selection of databases.

  • From the library home page, go to the search box under Start Your Research. It is set to Everything by default.
  • For a quick and general search, type in your search terms trying to avoid sentences or questions.
  • Let's say you’re researching the benefits of cocurricular activities for college students.
  • A good strategy is to focus only on the keywords - type 'benefits cocurricular college students’
  • Select the magnifying glass.
  • Your results will include books, ebooks, book chapters, articles, videos, audio recordings, and more. To find out what type of item a result is, look at the word above the title on the results list.
  • Cocurricular Service-Learning Through a Camp for Athletes with Visual Impairments is an article. Student success in college: creating conditions that matter is a book.
  • If an article says Available Online or has a Download PDF or Read Article link, you can access it online.
  • If a book says Available at Milner Library and lists a call number and location under the title, or it if it is from I-Share, it is a print book.
  • If it says Available Online under the title, then it’s an eBook, and you can choose the title, scroll down to Get It, and choose the link under Full text availability to view the eBook.
  • Keep in mind that since Everything searches both Milner Library and I-Share catalogs, you will check the books you find to see if they are from Milner or from another I-Share library.
  • If a book is available at Milner Library, underneath the title on the results list, it should say Available at Milner Library and list the call number and location.
  • If a book is not available from Milner Library but is available from an I-Share library, on the results list it will say Check for available services under the book title.
  • To make sure, choose the title, scroll down to How to Get It, and check which libraries are listed. If an item only lists I-Share libraries, then it is only available at I-Share libraries and not from Milner Library.
  • You can request I-Share books online and they will come to Milner Library in 3-5 days for you to pick up at the Circulation Desk on your left as you enter the library. The How to Request a Book from I-Share help video shows how to request a book from I-Share.
  • Use the Tweak your results options on the left to refine your search results.
  • For example, if you specifically want to narrow to article or books, you can choose those under Resource Type.
  • The How to Set Search Limits in the Milner Catalog help video tells more about the options under Tweak your results.

If you have questions, use the Ask a Milner Librarian options on the library website to contact a Milner Librarian via live chat, text, email, or phone, contact your subject librarian, or view our FAQs.
