 Welcome to Encore, our new power search, where you can explore the library catalog and much more, all from one easy-to-use interface. Encore's keyword search is both simple and intuitive. Encore shows your search results in an easy-to-understand display. Over on the left-hand side, you can decide if you want to search for gardening in the subject, title, or author fields. You can also refine your search by format. If, for example, you only want gardening DVDs, go ahead and click on the DVD link. If you only want gardening DVDs at the main library, you can use that facet by clicking on the main library link. If you later decide you want to remove one of these facets, just click on the small X next to the name of the facet, and all of the other results will come back. You can also refine your search by using the tag cloud. The bigger the tag cloud, the more popular the subject. Whatever material similar to what you've found, click on the link, scroll down, find a subject, and click on it. You'll see all the materials with that subject in the library. Encore is social. You can choose to add ratings, reviews, and tags. For all of these, you need to be logged in with your Long Beach Public Library card. Encore makes it easy to build lists. I'm going to add two items to my cart just by clicking on the Add to Cart button. Then I'm going to go to my cart. From here, I can choose to email myself a list that will include live links to these two items, so I don't have to do my search again. I can also create a new list right from here. Want to search more than just the library catalog? By clicking here under Articles and More, you can search all of our databases at once without having to visit each individual database. Try Encore in the library or from home. With Encore, you can contribute to our social catalog. Just ask a librarian to help you make the most of Encore. Long Beach Public Library's new power search.
