Finding Books in eLibrary
Ellender Memorial Library’s catalog is called eLibrary. To search for books, videos, periodicals, etc., simply click on the link from the library’s homepage. You may click on either eLibrary or on the eLibrary Power Search. The simple search allows you to search by author, title, keyword, subject, or periodical title. It will suffice if you know the author or title of a source, or it is a simple keyword search, such as the following:
AUTHOR SEARCH: Vogelzang, Jody
TITLE SEARCH: Pediatric manual of clinical dietetics
WORD OR PHRASE SEARCH: dietetics
However, if you wish to compose a complex search, such as finding books about the licensing of dietitians and nutritionists in the state of Louisiana, or finding a reference book about nutrition and dietetics terminology, you would be better off using the Power Search. For example, to find the latter, you could try the following:
title=dietetics AND type=Reference book
The important thing to remember is that searching effectively involves coming up with a search strategy, and that strategy will probably involve using various synonyms and similar terms to maximize effectiveness.
By the same token, if you wanted to find serial (journal) titles about nutrition in our library, you might try the following two searches:
SEARCH ONE:title=nutrition AND type=serial
SEARCH TWO:subject=nutrition AND type=serial
