This tutorial is a guide to understanding and using the results you have gotten after searching the LSU Libraries' Online Catalog. Keep in mind that your results are only usefully if you first understand how the catalog searches and have used effective searching strategies.

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, and the "Advanced Searching" tutorial.

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