Enter any terms (e.g., telescope, brass)   Description Or a catalog number:   CatalogNumber Search terms match whole words rather than substrings   You may search the online catalog by ledger description, or for a catalog number. Searches are case-insensitive; by default, any string in a field that contains a term renders that record a match. For example, asking for "margin" will match "Margin," "marginal," and so forth. You can also ask that terms be matched in their entirety. Prior to searching, characters that are neither numbers or letters are stripped away, and single-character terms discarded (except for catalog number). Terms are and-ed together in the search.
