Click 'Websites' to include any MARC record that was cataloged with an 856u tag. Also, if you have purchased a database of cataloged websites, click 'Websites' to include that database in your search. Select 'eBooks' to include electronic books in your search.

Choose Library Type/Library

With Meriwether, you can limit your search to libraries of a specific library type (high school, junior high, architecture, engineering, etc.). You can also limit your search to a specific library. By default, Meriwether will search every library in your organization for the term you type. To search a specific library type or library, choose an option from the library type or library pull down lists at the bottom of the page. Note: If you are using a Javascript-enabled browser, Meriwether should select the appropriate radio button for you when you choose an option from a pull down list. If you are not using a Javascript-enabled browser, you must click the appropriate radio button before you submit the search.
