If you do a search and retrieve too many items to easily scan, you can limit the search in various ways.
  1. After you have entered a search term from the Basic or Advanced Search screen, you will be given the option to Limit Search. Select this option.

  2. You will then have the following options for limiting your search:

    • Add additional words (same as using the AND boolean operator)
    • Eliminate words from search (same as using the NOT boolean operator)
    • Limit to a specific year or range of years
    • Select a specific format, such as Book, Audiovisual, Computer/Web, and so on. Or specify that it not be a specific format.
    • Limit to items in a particular branch of the Chester Fritz Library
    • Select a specific collection, such as 1st floor desk microfilm. Or specify that it not be from a specific collection. (Limiting by collection may not be the most useful option. Many collection choices seem to overlap, so selecting the collection you want can be difficult.)
    • Select only items in a particular language.

  3. When you have chosen all the limits you want to apply to your search, click on the Go button.
