Horizon lets you search for records in your library catalog and Horizon database. When you do a search, Horizon reviews indexes stored on your Horizon database, looking for records that match your search terms, and then displays the results of your search. You can then customize your search results by sorting or limiting the records found to meet certain criteria. (For example, you can limit your search results to titles published after 1985.)
In addition to basic searching, you can do expert searching (such as searching for multiple terms). You can focus your search on new records that have recently been added to your library’s catalog, or search another library’s database.
You can also use staff search windows to do non-searching tasks. (For example, you can save a list of bibliographies, make a request for an item that has been checked out, or view detailed information about an item.)
This chapter explains only how to use staff search windows. Borrowers can search your library’s Horizon catalog by using a web browser to access the Horizon Information Portal searching interface. (For more information on Information Portal, see the Information Portal online help or the Information Portal System Administrator’s Guide.)
