A search bar displays at the top of every page so you can look for items at any time. Enter your search term, then if needed, click Keyword to open a drop-down list, and select a different search type (Title, Author, Subject, Series, etc.). Then all you need to do is either hit Enter on your keyboard or click the magnifying glass icon. If you only want things in a certain genre or of a certain type (like audio books or DVDs) just look at the right side of your screen after searching and you should see a long list of words. The main sections you will use are the Materials, Age Group and Physical Location sections. Materials allows you to specify whether you want a book, audio book, DVD, Video Game, etc., Age Group allows you to search by books that are normally read in those age ranges. Physical Location is broken down by genre.
