| Using BearCat
- the online catalog for Baylor University
|
|
| Open internet explorer and go to http://bearcat.baylor.edu | |
|
|
|
|
| At this menu you can choose to search by Author
(default), Title, or Keyword.
This image shows how to select the title from the drop down box -------------------------------------> |
|
|
|
| This image shows that Keywords has been selected ----------------------------------------------> |
 |
|
|
| Type in the title (or author or keyword) and press enter | |
 |
|
|
|
| This produces a list of titles that match your search criteria | |
 |
|
|
|
| When you select item 2 from the image above, you can view the specific results for that item. In this case we have 5 copies of the 2004 edition, 2 copies of the 2002 edition, and 1 copy of the CD-ROM for that title. | |
 |
|
|
|
| When you receive too many results, you can narrow down the available choices by specifying different aspects. The most useful limiting choice for law students is to specify the location as "law". Below is an example of finding legal titles by the author "Pierce" | |
| First, search by Author name "Pierce" | |
|
|
|
|
| You will note that it returns 263 authors with the name Pierce. To make that more relevant for your purposes, limit the search to location. First, click the "Limit This Search" button. | |
 |
|
|
|
| You will reach this screen
|
 |
|
|
| Click the drop down arrow for the "Where" and select "Law", then click the "Limit/sort items" button. |
 |
|
|
| As you can see below, the results are much more specific to law, and probably contain the title of the book you trying to find, (in this case I was hoping to find "Administrative Law"). | |
