The Dame Alice Owen's School Online
Library Catalogue allows everyone to search the catalogue for items
in the library and related websites. The Basic search allows you to use whatever terms you
wish or to restrict your search to author, title, subject, keyword,
ISBN, Series or Call Number (classification). For example a search
for J K Rowling as author will bring up 17 items, while a general
search on Harry Potter will give all the Harry Potter books and
related materials such as links to websites. With the Advanced search you can combine many terms and
formats to refine your search. The catalogue tells you which books
are available and even includes a link to Amazon reviews. (We cannot
guarantee that there will be a review for your chosen item but there
should be a fairly high success rate). More detailed instructions
about searches will help you use the basic search and the advanced
search. If you are a member of the
school community you will also be able to log
into your own area of the system to renew items on loan, make
reservations and requests and create your own lists. If you would
like further information, or need help logging in, please consult
the librarians.
