Indigenous Films: Using the Catalogue and Advanced Search Functions

Using the catalogue search functions (not just USearch) can help you to create a more precise and relevant set of search results.

In the Catalogue you can search by:

• Keyword
• Title 
• Author
• Subject
• ISBN/ISSN
• LC Call Number
• Dewey Call Number
• Local Call Number

To do this, begin by selecting the Catalogue link on the library's homepage. 

Next, select limiters for your search from the dropdown menus, finally enter a search term in the search field.

If you would like access to more search terms, limiters, and the ability to use boolean operators, select the Advanced Search link from bottom of the search window.

Limiting your search to the Audio Visual Collection can be very useful when looking for films, as many of the directors also have books or papers in the catalogue.
