In this tutorial, we'll walk through the basic steps of finding a book using the Novanet Classic catalogue.
This is a basic introduction that is mostly useful if you're trying to track down a known item.
For example, if your Prof or a friend told you about a particular book and you'd like to see if we have it.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to get to the Novanet catalogue, how to find items by title,
how to find items by an author's name,
and how to find items by topic.
If you're interested in more extensive topic searching,
we have a Novanet classic advanced search tutorial to help you out with that.
For a link to the Novanet advanced search tutorial,
see the video description.
Getting into the Novanet catalogue is pretty simple
and you can do it in a couple of different ways.
Start out at the libraries' homepage: libraries.dal.ca.
From here, you can click "Novanet Classic" above the general search bar.
Or, you can click "Research" from the main navigation bar
and then "Novanet Classic".
Whichever method you've used to get there, once you're in Novanet, click on the "Search" tab.
Let's say you already know exactly what book you're looking for.
You want to find out if we have any copies of The Emperor of all Maladies.
Type the title into the search bar
and choose "Title" from the list. Click "Go".
The next screen will show you the author, the book's title,
and the libraries that hold it.
Novanet includes the collections from other colleges and universities in Nova Scotia,
so many of the books you will see listed here are actually held at other institutions.
Here is an example from the catalogue of a book that is owned by St. Francis Xavier University.
It says "Owned by StFX MacDonald Library".
Remember that you can borrow from StFX and other Novanet institutions with your Dal card.
Once you've found the book in Novanet, your next goal is to determine whether it's available and where you can find it in the library.
All you have to do to get this information is click on the holding library.
This screen shows you the call number,
which will help you locate the item on the shelves and will tell you whether or not the book is in the library.
The book that I have clicked on has been checked out and is due back on January 30, 2019.
To make sure you get first crack at the book when it comes back, you can place a hold on it.
To do this, click on the "Results" tab from the main navigation bar.
This will take you back to the search results page.
Click the title of the book you want and then select "Place a hold" near the top of the page.
Finally, login with your library barcode and password.
The same process works if you want to know what is available by a particular author.
Let's say you want to read something by Louise Erdrich.
Click on the "Search" tab. Type "louise erdrich"
(capitals don't matter).
Choose "Author" from the menu and click "Go".
Now you'll get a list of everything in Novanet by Louise Erdrich.
Once again, click on the name of the library to find out whether it's available and where you can find it.
This one is from the Dal Killam Library and it says "On the shelf" so you know it should be available for you to borrow.
The third and final method we are going to talk about is searching Novanet by topic.
This method is useful when you don't have a specific book or author in mind but just want to know what books we have on a certain topic.
Say you want to know what books we have on Victorian technology.
You can search using keywords by choosing "Any field" from the menu.
This is the broadest type of search because it will search for keywords you enter in the title, author, and subject fields.
Think of it like casting a wide net to see what you catch.
Once you find a book you like, you can click on the title to get more information about the book.
Here you can actually find out what subject headings were assigned to the book.
If you find a subject heading that looks particularly relevant, you can click on it to find
more books that were assigned that same subject heading.
You can click to find more titles in Novanet or you can even take the subject heading to a Google search and see what you find.
Once you have tracked down a book and taken it off the shelf,
bring it to the service point at the library to check it out.
Always feel free to ask a staff member to help if you're having trouble locating something.
Remember that we're here to help you with your research.
