  • Once you have searched, you will see the results page. For our example, we have searched by title:

  • Since Reeves Library has this exact title, it brought us directly to the record. This is where we can see that the book is listed as available, and the location is WC Reeves New Books. This also lists the call number, so we can easily find it on the shelf. If the book is checked out, it will be listed as Unavailable. 
  • If we want to search by keywords, instead of title, our search results page will look more like this: 

    locate search by keyword. Keyword in search is "space travel" and it is listing off the book titles
     
  • From here we can click on individual titles, or easily place a hold on items that are owned by Reeves Library.
