General help

You may use single words or phrases. Do not omit words in a phrase. Use Lord of the Rings, not Lord Rings. Try using shorter searches, if you are getting no results. Use the question mark to shorten words: horse? will also find horses.

Examples of author searches

Use for searching authors, narrators, editors, etc. Examples:

• Clark Mary Higgins (last name first, no comma necessary)
• Shakespeare (last name alone will work)
• Gian? in the author search field and narrator in the keyword search field will retrieve books narrated by Laura Giannarelli.
