01:12 This makes it a total of 3 books in my library.

02:28 I will type Microbiology in the search field.
02:33 And, click on Go at the right side of the field.
02:38 All the Library items having the word Microbiology, are listed in the results.

03:11 Upon selecting Author (A-Z), a list of Authors is displayed in alphabetic order.
03:19 Look below the title of the listed items. Here, we can see the availability of that particular item across all the libraries.
03:31 So, how can we improve our search for even better results?
03:36 We can do so by clicking on the ‘Refine Your Search' tab on the extreme left.
03:43 Then go to the various tabs under sections like: Availability, Authors, Item Types and Topics.
03:57 Now, let us see what to do in case the required material is not found with a general search.
04:06 On the Search Catalog page, click on the link Advanced Search.
04:12 A new page with the title Search for opens up.
04:18 Using the multiple drop-down options, we can refine our search for our required material.

04:56 I will type Microbiology here.
