How do I Navigate through Cataloger's Desktop?

In this introductory Quick Tip, designed and developed by Library Services' Instructional Design and Training Division for Cataloging Distribution Service, you will learn how to navigate through the Cataloger's Desktop interface in 3 to 4 minutes. Cataloger's Desktop brings together over 100 cataloging resources you can access with a few keystrokes. You may work through the simulations or click on the arrows in the upper right part of your screen to advance through the quick tip. You may leave the tutorial at any time and return to Cataloger's Desktop by clicking anywhere on the Cataloger's Desktop banner at the top of your screen.

In the first scenario, we will conduct a simple search in the default Desktop basic view. In the search box we have entered the term "incunabula."

In this simulation, click the Find button.
