Some advice:

  • leave the location filter menu at "any" to see books located throughout the library system.
  • Use the asterisk to search for an entire classification, such as N* for all art books
  • TR is the classification for photography
  • AM for museums, collectors, and collecting
  • Many of the history books are cataloged with a geographical focus (i.e., DU* covers Oceania)
