Searching the Catalog for Children's Literature

The most effective way to find children's books from the Children's Literature Collection is to use the Advanced Search in the Catalog.  Once you have navigated to the Catalog and chosen to use the Advanced Search, use the following steps to find children's books.

  1. Type in your search terms in the search boxes.
  2. Choose Hatcher as the Location for your search.
  3. Choose Children's Literature Collection as the Collection for your search.

You must follow the steps in this order for the correct options to appear in the Location and Collection boxes.  This image may help you with your search as well.
