Searching for Resources

To search for an item, use the Search drop-down menu. The default search is by Keyword, but you can search by Title, Author, Subject, Series, etc. There is also an "Advanced" search feature.

You will see how many results were returned once you enter a term in the search bar. Use the “Refine Your Search” options in the left column to limit your results by Material Type, Audience, Author, and Series.

The “+” sign adds further options to refine your search. Check the boxes you want to refine by, such as Books or Kits, then click on the "Refresh" button to see the refined search. 

Click “Topics” in the menu bar, which will visually search curated lists alphabetically.

Topics are organized by subjects and by grades. This is a great way to quickly find a list of items and the unit study kits by grade.
