Which search method you choose depends on the information you have in hand and your desired outcome.

Headings and Titles Displays

Click to enlarge	Follow These Steps
	"Browsing" and "Searching" in Catalyst result in different types of displays ("Heading" and "Title" displays, respectively). For example, Author Browse searches from the Basic Search screen result in a display listing author "names" in groups of 25 (or however you've set your "records per page" option). These lists are called "Headings Displays". The number of titles associated with each name varies according to what the library owns. In the left column, "See Also" references to related information may appear.
	You can browse forward or backward from the nearest match to the term you searched by using the Next and Previous arrows. Only one heading and its associated titles may be viewed at a time by clicking on the heading. To return to the headings list, click on the Heading Results button at the top of the page.
	To display the titles associated with a heading, click on the underlined link. A title list display (or a brief display if there is only one item) will appear. The title list display includes Library location, call number and status (Checked Out , Available, etc.). Clicking on the title will result in a brief display. Only one record may be viewed at a time. To return to the title display after viewing a record, click on the Title Results button at the top of the page.
	Similarly, Call Number Browse searches will place you in a list of call numbers, with the call number you entered listed first. You may then move forward or back, as if you were browsing the shelves, by using the Next or Previous buttons.
	Results from all other searches (Keyword, Subject, Title, etc., from the Basic Search screen and all searches from the Custom Search screen) appear in a Titles Display, in groups of 25 (or however you've set your "records per page" option). Records in a Titles Display include author, title, date of publication, library location, call number and status (Checked Out, Available, etc.).
