Step 1- Opening LibNet from the Lancer Library Web Page
The first step is to go to the Lancer Library Web Page. There is a blue box near the top of the page where you'll see "Click here to find a book".

Step 2 - Choosing the best search type
This screen allows you to choose the kind of search you will do. If you know the exact TITLE or AUTHOR of the item you are looking for, select one of these. If you are looking for items on a particular subject, it is usually easier to do a KEYWORD search than a SUBJECT search. You will get some items that have nothing to do with your topic but a SUBJECT search requires knowing the exact word or phrase the library uses to name your topic. EXPERT SEARCHING does not give you the spelling help the other search choices give you, but it does allow you to search using more than one term at a time.

Once you have selected the type of search you want to do the search screen will be next. Note there are several
hints included on the search screen. These will be very helpful to you.

Step 3 - Getting the list of items available in the library.

Step 4 - Getting more information

Notice that the titles of the books found are linked. If you want to get more information about a book just click on the title.

Step 5 - Reading "the record".
This is the information you get when you click on the title. It is useful to know just what information is where on the record. The information in green is an explanation of some of the fields in the record.

 

Step 6 - Getting the book

Write down the call number and go to the correct shelf in the library to find the book. If you don't know how to do this, go to Locating Information/Library organization or ask a librarian for assistance.
