Did you know about the Advanced Search option in the Catalogue?

When you need to search across different fields, such as; author AND title, series AND subject and so on – you can use the Advanced Search to get these results!

Let’s search for ‘Psychology Checkpoints’ as an example:

1. Simply type ‘Psychology’ into the title box
2. And ‘Checkpoints’ into the series box - select a series from the dropdown menu
3. Click ‘Search’ at the bottom

Now you will only get these specific items listed and not every checkpoints book we have in the LRC!

Note: If you put ‘#’ at the start of your word, it will search for ‘NOT’ that word (e.g. typing ‘#Psychology’ would have found all the checkpoints in the LRC except the psychology ones).
