Quick Search[back to top]

You have many options to search our database while at your site. Our site offers you access to over  1,359,755 titles, both print and software. You may search on keywords within the author, title, publisher, and subject descriptions in the text field at the top of each page. You may also select a particular ISBN or Book Number. To further refine your search you can define a copyright year range and select to display either books, new media, or all items. Your results list is sorted by title but you can change the sort to any of the six choices listed.


Searching Menu[back to top]

When searching the database, it's important to understand how to enter your search criteria. This will determine exactly what will display and the order in which it is presented to you. As you look at the search screen from top to bottom, think of it as just three parts: type, information and sequence. Remember that the more information you enter in your search criteria, the better the results. If you enter too little information, your search results list might contain too many items to be useful.

When you click on the Searching dropdown menu in the navigation bar, you are presented with a variety of search options.

first option is Regular Search. The information entered in this area of the screen will determine the search results. The idea is, of course, to narrow the search results list as much as possible in order to find the item you need. There are five text boxes where information can be entered: Author/Title/Keyword, Subject, ISBN, Publisher and Book number. You can also specify the range of Copyright years. Information entered in the text boxes does not have to be complete, because this is what is known as a "keyword" search.

For instance, if the only thing you knew about the book you were looking for was that the word "blood" was in the title, you would type "blood" in the Title text area and click on "Submit search". The search would begin on that keyword, and the search results would include every book in the database that had the word "blood" in its title. Knowing any other piece of information, such as the author's last name, would significantly narrow the search and the outcome would be a much more workable search results list. There may be some instances when the search routine will insist that you enter more criteria because the results list is too long.

The screen also allows you to specify media type, sort sequence, and filter. The filters that we offer on our web page are: Best Bets, Sizzler, Doody Star Rating, and Brandon-Hill. For more information on these filters, please click here.

Clicking on Subject Search allows you to locate the exact subject and choose it for entry in the information area of the search screen. To use this function, just locate the desired subject, click on it and you will be brought to the Regular Search screen with the subject filled into its appropriate text box. You can now adjust your media type, sort sequence, and filter.

Clicking on Publisher Search allows you to locate the exact publisher and choose it for entry in the information area of the search screen. To use this function, just locate the desired publisher, click on it and you will be brought to the Regular Search screen with the publisher filled into its appropriate text box. You can now adjust your media type, sort sequence, and filter.

Clicking on Forthcoming Titles allows you to select a particular month, and subsequently a subject to find out the titles that are due to be published during that particular month.

Clicking on Affiliated Bookstores allows you to locate the website of one of our retail partners. We highly recommend that you visit their site and their store as our partners are the best Click 'n Mortar Health Sciences and Professional bookstores in the country.

Search Sequence[back to top]

The default is Author/Title, but the search results can be sorted and displayed in five other sequences. Title will display in book title order. Subject/Author/Title will display in subject order. If there is more than one book for a subject, they will be sorted alphabetically by author and then by title. Subject/Title will display in subject order and if there is more than one book for a subject, they will be sorted alphabetically by title. Publisher/Author/Title will display in publisher order.
