Location. To look for books available at your home library only, do a word search and change the location from "View Entire Collection" to your home library. (If you don't find what you're looking for, search the entire collection and request the book to be sent to your home library by clicking on the Request button).
Subject vs. Word Search. Subject search uses Library of Congress subject headings to pull up records using different terms that mean the same thing. Keyword search looks for exact word only.
Each item will show location, call number (if applicable), and status (available or checked out). Remember course reserve and reference items that show "available" in the catalog cannot not be requested.
