How do I find/get books, videos, DVDs, CDs, or other materials by/about American Indians held in the Colleges libraries?
Use the UW Colleges Web Catalog to identify books, videos, DVDs, CDs, etc. Items can be located by using either the Basic or Advanced search methods. For example, if you were researching forestry practices among the Menominee, using Basic Search, you might type Menominee Indians in the first search box. By default you would search these words as “all of the terms”. Instead use the drop-down menu to search the terms “as a phrase”. Then, at the “In:” drop-down menu, select “Subject Keyword”. In the second search box, you might type forest? (the question mark truncates the word forest to include forests, forestry, etc.) At the “In:” drop-down menu, select Keyword (any field).. Checking the And radio button (between the search boxes) will help locate items that include both of your search strategies, and will help narrow your results. The Or radio button would find records with either search string, widening your possible results. The Not button would eliminate items with any terms in the
