There are many ways to search CRUZCAT. You can search by:

• The title of a book, periodical, or other item
• The author
• The author and title (or title words)
• Any keywords that appear in the title or subject
• The subject category of an item
• The call number of an item

When looking for items on a topic or subject, start with a keyword search instead of a subject search. Keyword searching is a bit more flexible in the way it searches and may retrieve a wider variety of results as you begin your research.

Remember to combine multiple terms with the words "and" or "or".
