The CBCRM - Resource Center OnLine Catalog is a customized
Library System designed to facilitate searching and retrieval of bibliographic
records of books, serials, vertical files and theses found in the CBCRM - RC
Library.
The Library System was developed using
"open source" software, making it cost-free and yet very efficient and stable.
The most outstanding features of the
system are:
Keyword searching - allows you to enter keywords from the
title, author, subject fields, etc.
Limit search by format - you may choose to limit your search by
book, serial, vertical file or thesis;
Limit search by field - you may choose to search only on the
title, author, subject, or call no., or you may choose any field to search all
searchable fields;
Limit search by date - you may choose to limit your search by
indicating specific date(s) of publication;
Combine search terms using Boolean Operators - you may combine
search terms using "Boolean OR" or "Boolean AND". Using Boolean AND will
retrieve records having all of the terms in the search expression. On the
other hand, using Boolean OR will retrieve records having at least one or all
of the terms in the search expression;
Limit display of records per page - you may specify the number
of records you want to display per page. Default is 15;
Preview and print selected records - you may select records
from the search results and preview them. Selected records can be readily
printed;
Links to related records - Links are provided for names of
authors and subjects. Clicking the author's name will search the database with
works of that author and clicking the subject will search the database for
records with similar or related subject.
