BiblioCommons: An Introduction to your Library Catalogue

[Hatnshoes]

Why can you not search by call number (for a specific subject).

@Hatnshoes Thank you for your question about call numbers. You can still do a call number search with BiblioCommons, just type in the call number as a keyword search (e.g. 820.71071 Read). If you want to use a wild card (e.g. 820*), go to the advanced search page and type in ca:820* in the Boolean editor at the top of the search form. This will return all items that have 820 in the call number. Hope this information helps.

This is the Stupidest thing I've ever come across why does it have to be toned down. Why if I just want to check when my stuff is due do I have to agree to terms and conditions? Where is the card catalog for the person that knows what there doing?
