Guide to Using LibraryThing

The GLBT Library’s LibraryThing account can be used to search and browse our current holdings. As always, if you need any help finding a certain book or topic, don’t hesitate to contact us at (812) 855-4252 or glbtlib@indiana.edu!

Set Up

  • LibraryThing catalogs can be arranged in a number of ways. For best viewing, click on (use it) if the message “iuglbtlibrary has a suggested style for viewing this library” appears immediately above the catalog records.

Searching Tips

  • Access the search function by viewing our library collection and using the search box in the right top corner of the page.

  • Check your spelling — Sadly, LibraryThing won’t catch most spelling mistakes.
  • Check your punctuation — For example, LibraryThing doesn’t recognize “&,” “+,” and “and” to mean the same things.
  • Boolean searching — If you’re feeling especially search-savvy, LibraryThing supports boolean searching, where you can use “AND” “OR” and “NOT” to enhance your search. For some tips on boolean searching, check out this guide from Duke University Libraries.
