  • Searching cataLION is more like Google, with the best matches appearing on the first pages.
  • For a simple search use title words, an author's name, or keywords describing your topic.
  • "Less is More!" Avoid using "a" "an"  & "the"
  • cataLION automatically truncates both left and right. Example: typing in rain will find both rainfall and brain.
  • Log into your cataLION account to place holds, create lists of books, see what you have checked out and if you owe any fines.
  • Use the cataLION advanced search to limit your results to particular types of materials
