If you get too many results, use the keyword search.To view the details about a book from the list, click on Show. Then look for its “Status”. If it is in, check the “Location” (or click on the magnifying glass to see in which section of the library you will find it) and note or remember the “Spine Label”.
When doing a research, think on using the encyclopaedias to get a whole lot of information or refine your keywords.
