Search either just like you search Foxtrax, and then request what you find. Summit materials arrive in 2-4 business days. You can check Summit books out for 6 weeks with no renewals. Books requested from outside the Summit system can take 10 days to 3 weeks to arrive.
Types of searches that you can use to find books:
A. Title and author searches
If you know the title of a book or the name of an author you can perform a "Title" or "Author" search in Foxtrax or Summit by selecting these field options from a drop-down menu or a tab and entering the title or author name in the search box.
B. Keyword search
A keyword search is the broadest, most flexible search that you can use. It looks for the terms that you enter in any order within all of the fields of the bibliographic record. You can perform a "Keyword" search in Foxtrax or Summit by selecting this field option from a drop down menu or a tab and entering the keyword(s) in the search box. This can be a good way to start your book search but sometimes the results are irrelevant or there are so many that it would take too long to go through them all. If this is the case then a subject search will be more helpful for you.
C. Subject search
A subject search in the catalog is the most direct way to find a book on a specific topic. You can perform a "Subject" search in Foxtrax or Summit by selecting these field options from a drop-down menu or tab and entering the subject heading in the search box. It can be difficult to know or to find the right subject heading to use for this type of search. If you are not sure what term to use as a subject heading then read the tip below for a helpful alternative.
Easiest way to perform a subject search:
-
- Using a keyword search find one book in the catalog that most closely matches your topic of interest and look at the full record to view the subject headings that are used to describe the content. Click on one of the subject headings to view all materials that have been labeled with the same subject heading or use a combination of subject headings to formulate your own search.
