Library Search Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the NCSU Library homepage<\/a>, enter your search term(s) in the library catalog search box, click on the top tabs for the type of resource you want to find. If you want to search your term(s) in all library resources, leave it on the \u201cAll\u201d tab, which is the default. The catalog search box is located on most of the library web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clicking on any of the search box tabs will change the search box field to include other options, including “More Search Options,” which will take you to another page with a search box that allows you to do advanced searches. With advanced searches, you can narrow down by date, publication type, and other fields such as titles, authors, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underneath the library search box, you will see links to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Resarch Tools: Databases, Journal Titles, Citation Builder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tools allow you to search for databases and journal titles alphabetically, and properly cite your work (we will discuss citations later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
