How do I search for items in the library catalog?
Answer
You can search for books (print and e-books) in WorldCat Discovery (the search tool on the library homepage).
Go to the Goucher College Library website
- In the search box under WorldCat Discovery, type title of the book or keyword/search term.
- You can also search by author, subject, and genre (more info below).
- Hit Enter or click Search (right of search box)
- The left side of the results page, limit your results by...
- Library (choose Goucher), then
- Format (select Book; if you prefer a print book, then select Print Book; if you prefer e-book, then select e-book)
To search by author, subject, and genre:
- Author -- type in the search box the subfield 'au=' the the author's first and last name. Ex: au= Octavia Butler
- Subject -- type in the search box the subfield 'su=' and the subject. Ex: su= international relations
- Genre -- type in the search box the subfield 'ge=' and the genre. Ex: ge= mystery
