Keyword

Combine terms using AND.
This search returns records that contain words that match exactly what you typed in.
This is often (but not always) the best place to start.

Subject

Catalog uses pre-defined subjects.
This type of search works well if you are browsing for a particular subject that you know or a broad term. So if you aren't finding anything, switch to the keyword search instead.
Subjects are arranged using the Library of Congress Classification system.

Author

Author searches are for looking for items a particular person has authored or written.
The library catalog works best if you type in searches in the format "Lastname, Firstname."
If you want books about a person, search for their name by subject.
