Ways to Search in the Milner Catalog

There are several options for searching the Milner Catalog:

Type of Search	Use it to:
Quick Search	Search for items by keyword, title, journal title, author, etc.
Advanced Search	Search for items on a topic in multiple fields simultaneously
Course Reserves	Find course materials placed on reserve by an instructor.
MyAccount	You can renew items, see a list of items you have checked out, see any fines, or check on the status of your Interlibrary Loan request(s).
I-Share Catalog	Search for an item on any one or all 65 Illinois academic libraries' online catalogs.

In this section of I-Search, we'll learn about the Advanced Search, Quick Search, and Course Reserves searches and show you how to check MyAccount.

For portions of the tutorial you'll need Adobe Flash player; download the Flash player if you don't already have it. If you have any problems, ask at the University Computer Help Desk 309-438-HELP (4357) or one of the Milner Library librarians.
