Find a course record

Course reserve records store general information about courses that have items on reserve, and provide links to all the items on reserve for the course. Follow these steps to find course reserve records.

1. Click Search on the menu bar, and click Course Reserves in the Search submenu.

2. Type the text to search for in the Course Reserve search for box, keeping these tips in mind:

: Letter case, multiple spaces, and punctuation are ignored. Omit hyphens in numbers.

: You can type more than one word. The results have all the words in the specified field, in the same order you typed them.

: You can type a part of a word and use a wildcard character. The wildcard character asterisk (*) represents the rest of the word. For example, if you type King*, the results include words such as King, Kingsley, and Kingford. The question mark (?) represents exactly one character. For example, wom?n finds woman and women.

: If you are looking for a course name that begins with an article (A, An, The), you must include the article or use a wildcard character. If you are not sure, use the wildcard character.

Example:
To find a course named The Middle Ages, you can type the middle ages, *middle ages, or *middle. If you type middle ages, the search does not find the course.

3. Click the Search by arrow symbol, and select a search field from the list. You have the following options:

: Course Name

: Course Number/Section

: Course Abbreviation

: School/Division Name

: Department Name

: Instructor Name - Primary or alternate instructor (Last name, first name)

4. Click Go.

The results appear in the center area of the page.

5. To see more information about a course, click the course name, the Availability button, or the Full Display button.

6. If necessary, click the link Click here to see items from all branches to see each item associated with the course, including the item location, reserve status, and circulation status. (Click the plus sign by a location to see the listings for that location.)

7. Click Full Display to display more information about the course itself.
