Search Tips

Enter values in any or all fields. Searching for more than one field will show those results matching all the values you enter, i.e. putting training in the Author/Title/Subject field and choosing the category Project Design/Implementation, will bring up training resources for project design only.

Author/Title/Subject: Enter all or part of the title, author name, and/or keyword. The more terms you enter, the more precise the search will be and the fewer results will appear. For instance if you put rural you will get hundreds of results, putting rural sustainability will get less than 100 results, and putting rural sustainability pretty will bring up less than 10 results.

ISBN: Put the ten-digit ISBN, e.g. 0415256705

Category: Choosing a main category will search for results in that category and its sub-categories. If you don't specify what categories to use in your search, it will look in all of the categories or resources.

Type of Resource: You can search for all resources, which will bring up books/videos/CDs, websites, events and articles; or you can search for any one of these types. A "website" search will bring up both linked pages, and online documents (mostly PDF but a few HTML and Microsoft Word format).

Search discounted items only: Check this box to bring up the sale or special items in the category.
