Hints to Find an AV Item using the Voyager Online Catalog

(print version PDF) (iTunes podcast 2 minutes)

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view PDF files and Apple iTunes to view the podcast.

• To search for materials anywhere in the University Library system (all campuses) select the GUIDED SEARCH.
  
  

  Type in keywords and/or personal names. A search can be performed by typing all words in one box. If you wish, you may limit to UH Manoa by using the SEARCH LIMIT option at the lower right corner of the screen.



• To restrict your search to specific media, include one of the following terms in your search:
  

  Videotape, Sound Recording, Compact Disc, DVD, CD-ROM, Score, Video? (searches both DVD and videotape)

• Scroll to bottom of screen and click on Search.

  EXAMPLES:

• To review a complete and current list of DVD's, select GUIDED SEARCH, limit by UHM Sinclair and type DVD in the search box.

  Or you may go to www.sinclair.hawaii.edu/wavc/featurefilm.html to find older static lists of feature films on DVD or videotape.

  These older printed lists are also available in the AV Center.

  If you wish to see only newer items, select BASIC SEARCH, click on CALL NUMBER, type in a recent call number, e.g., DVD 2000, Videotape 19500, Compact Disc 9200.

• To find RESERVE materials, click on RESERVES.

  Select UH Manoa campus from dropdown menu, type first letter of instructor's last name or course name. Scroll and click on correct entry.
