Conducting an AUTHOR Search

  • To begin your BANC author search, access the Hutchins Library Home Page.

  • Click the Search button (as highlighted below) underneath "BANC."





  • If you are trying to locate a work (or list of works) by a particular author:

    1. Type the author's name (last name, first name) in the "Find This" search box.
    2. Choose Browse Author from the "Find Results in" box.
    3. Click Search.



    • You will then be taken to a result screen -- an alphabetical list of authors (based on the particular author you are searching). As you can see from the results screen below, we own 2 items by Andrew Baskin.

    • To view the items we own, click on the author's name or the number of that entry. (In the example below, you would chose [1].)




    • Clicking on the author's name or [1] as shown above, results in a record (below) of the items Hutchins Library owns by the author. Notice that the record provides the call number (1) and location (2) of each item.
