Yes, there is an advanced search option!

This option will allow you to search by Author, Concept, Series, or Title. You'll also be able to limit your search to items that are currently available, items at a specific library branch, item type (books, audiobooks, DVDs, eBooks, eAudiobooks, etc.), language, or publisher. These search limits are optional, and you can use as many or as few of them as you'd like. 

To use the Advanced Search Option, please follow the steps below:

  • Go to the library catalog.
  • On the right side of the search bar, select the arrow. 
  • A drop-down menu will be generated, and you will be able to select Author, Concept, Series, or Title
