Author Search: The Quick Search Screen

An Author Search is another common way of finding information in the library catalog. For this type of search, you can use the same three search screens discussed in the Title Search section of this tutorial. As with a title search, the Quick Search screen is good to use when you know exactly what author you are looking for.
