MORRIS Searching

Each of the help pages linked below will give you tips on searching for specific kinds of items. Keyword searching is a more powerful way to search the library catalog than by a single index alone (e.g. title, author, etc.). It permits the use of adjacency, truncation, proximity, operators and multiple-field limits to help you zero in on precisely the items you need.
