Command Code Searching the Catalog for Collections

In response to a question asked the desk today from a student who wanted to browse the titles in the MTA Collection, Jin and I figured out use the command codes to find all the items from a collection:

  1. In the catalog, click “Command Search”
  2. Use the code, WCL, to find words in the name of a collection; to find all the MTA books, type in WCL=MTA

There are other commands you can use that work all sorts of wonders.
