WHAT IT IS:

Using the Library Search, you can limit your search to just the items that are located inside the library – physical items you can check out from the library and take home with you, like books and DVDs. The Library Catalog allows you to search the Loman C. Trover Library’s 20,000+ book collection, as well as its collection of DVDs and audio CDs.
WHAT IT DOES:
The Library Catalog searches for the physical items located in the Loman C. Trover Library. Use it to find:
-Books
-DVDs
-CDs
HOW TO SEARCH:
Use the Library Search Box to conduct a basic search. Notice that to the right of the search box, the “Library Catalog – Madisonville CC All” is selected here. This will limit your search to items inside the library.
SEARCH RESULTS:
Search results are sorted by relevance. Unless you specify otherwise, it will try and find results that contain your search terms in the titles.
The search results may contain a mixture of books, DVDs, and CDs. You can limit to “Resource Type” on the right to eliminate books, DVDs, or CDs from the search results. All results should be items available from the Madisonville Community College library. Occasionally if additional libraries within the Kentucky Community & Technical College System also own that same item, you may see their college name appear first in the results.
LOCATE THE CALL NUMBER TO FIND THE ITEM IN THE LIBRARY:
In your search results, you’ll want to click where it says “Available at…” to bring up the item’s record and a separate window loads. In the section where it says “Locations,” you’ll see a list of one or more libraries that contain the book/DVD/CD. In the example below, the same book is located at the colleges in Ashland, Bluegrass, Elizabethtown, Hazard, Hopkinsville, Jefferson, and Maysville. Be sure to find “Madisonville” from the list and locate the call number.
The book’s call number tells you its location on the shelf. Learn more about Library of Congress Classification call numbers.
