Find It @ USC Libraries Staff Training

Searching

Key Takeaways

• Expect to get full text results, online or physically in the libraries.  After doing a search, you can toggle and include results beyond what we have.

• Find It does NOT search the library's databases.  See the "What are you searching" section to learn what goes into Find It.

• OR, AND, NOT need to be capitalized if you want to use them as operators.

There's a test view for Find It where we sometimes try out new features.
