Online Catalog Tutorials - Advanced Searching


This tutorial is only a guide to using the advanced search options in the LSU Libraries Online Catalog. Effective searching also depends on understanding how the catalog searches, and what your results mean.

For an introduction to how the online catalog works, go to the "Basic Searching" tutorial.

There are a number of ways you can "refine" your searches, to make them more specific or effective. To learn about those techniques, work through the "Building Search Statements" tutorial.

To find out how to get the most out of your results, go to the "Understanding Results" tutorial.

For all of these options, go to the Online Catalog Tutorials home page.
