Catalog Search Example
You can combine search terms in the catalog by using the Advanced Search. However, keep your searches fairly simple - the catalog is actually a pretty small database, so the more search terms you enter, the closer to zero results you get. In the graphic below, I've entered different two different concepts in two search boxes. In the first search box, I entered 'christianity and culture' as a subject. In the second search box, I entered two related terms separated by 'OR.' The asterisk allows me to retrieve all items that have words beginning with 'technolog.'
