Discovery Catalog User's Guide

A brief guide to the basic features of the WMS Discovery online catalog.

Navigating the Homepage

On the home page of the Discovery Catalog, you will see a main Search Bar, similar to that of many standard Internet search engines. You can search for items using this search box, or you can use the Advanced Search option that appears below the blue "search" button. 

In the grey bar just above the search bar, you will find another option for Advanced Search and a link to the Course Reserves lists. Course Reserves is where you will find the items on reserve in the library for your courses. You will also see a drop-down menu of additional Resources, which includes a link to the library's homepage, a link back to this catalog homepage, and other useful resources.
