Keyword Search:  You can use the Keyword Search to help you find books in which you are unsure of the title, author or subject.  For example:

• Use when you are looking for a topic but don't know an exact subject heading.
• Use when you are looking for a specific work and know main words in the title but not the exact title.
• Use when you are looking for a specific work and know the author's last name and what it is about.
• Use when you know the last names of two or more authors or editors of a work.

Browse Search:  Use the Browse Search function when you know the exact title, author name, subject heading or call number.  Browsing is great when you want to find more books by a specific author, more books on a specific topic or locate books with similar call numbers.  If you don't know the exact wording to use, try a Keyword Search.
