Search APL’s catalog and selected online databases with one search with FindIt Plus!

---

FindIt Plus, APL’s new integrated search engine, lets you search APL’s online catalog and selected databases at the same time with one search!

FindIt Plus links to full-text articles from periodicals and electronic books, as well as APL catalog records. If you are outside the Library you will need to enter your Austin Public Library card number to search FindIt Plus .

Search by subject or by database. Limit your search to selected subjects or databases or search them all. Use the basic search page to get quick results. Use the Advanced search page for expanded options.

As FindIt Plus gathers your search results, you will see the resources at work. Results are sorted by source and you can select to view results from a particular resource.

Clustered results sort your search results into subject categories and will help you narrow your search. Click on a topic to see the indexed articles.

To get results to you as quickly as possible, results are returned in small batches. When you reach your final page of results you can click on the "Next Results" link to see the next batch of results from the providers. This increases the cluster categories, too.

You can email, export, or save selected results.

FindIt Plus is available to everyone at all Austin Public Library locations. APL cardholders can access the database 24 hours a day from home or office computers.

To find out more call 974-7400 or stop by and ask any of your neighborhood librarians for more information.
