Library Catalogue and Summon
Catalogue
You are about to start a live session of The
Catalogue.
You will be able to switch between this tutorial and The Catalogue
session:
on computers in the Library,
by clicking the appropriate button ('Tutorial' or The
University of A...) on the task bar (that is usually) at the bottom of
the screen or
on all computers,
by first holding down the Alt key (at the bottom left
of the keyboard) and at the same time pressing the Tab key (at the left
of the keyboard) once.
Keep pressing Tab until you reach the Tutorial or
The Catalogue screen, then release the Alt key
or
by simply clicking the Tutorial or The Catalogue screen
(whichever you need) if you see it in the background.

Whenever you see this book with a question mark graphic
shown on the left, you will need to switch to The Catalogue or Summon (or later to the world wide web) using one of
these methods. |
Try practicing this now.
Right click on the link below.
Then click on
Open in new window (or new tab) to launch The Catalogue.
Open the Catalogue
Use Alt-Tab, or the task bar button to return to this tutorial.
Welcome back.
Normally you will get access to The Catalogue from The University
of Adelaide Library's web site.
You can click on the Catalogue tab.
Remember most graphics in this tutorial have a red border.
These are example screens that show what you should see
on the active catalogue screen at that stage of the tutorial.
These example screens
will not respond to input from you.
Summon
Summon is a 'discovery tool' or search engine that like the Catalogue can help you find printed and electronic items.
Summon has the ability to search in more detail, such as finding journal articles by their titles, but it doesn't cover all of the Library's holdings.
The Summon search box appears on the Library home.
You can click on the What is Summon link on the Library home to find out more about this resource.
