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.
