Searching the Catalog

To search the library catalog, enter a term or terms in the blank search field and click on the "Search" button to the right. You can do a general search by "word or phrase," which is the default option. Additionally, you can choose to search by author, title, subject, series, or periodical title from the pull-down menu to the right. Click on the "Advanced Search" link for more options, including language, year of publication, and format (i.e. recorded book or music, visual materials, etc.).

If your search returns multiple items, you will see a "Search Results" screen. Click on the "Details" button for more information about a specific item. You will find the item's call number and current location at the bottom of the details page.

Do not hesitate to contact the reference desk at (860) 224-3155 ext. 124 if you have questions or encounter any problems.
