Electronic Database of the Week

I am going to try and highlight one of our electronic databases each week.

I want to start off the series with UTMOST
UTMOST is the University of Toledo's online catalog:
http://utmost.cl.utoledo.edu/ is the website, we have a link to it on the library website under "Search our Catalog"

UTMOST contains records of all the materials available at the University of Toledo libraries. With the recent merger with MUO this does now include the medical library's records.
You can search by title, subject, author, call number or keyword. For me, unless I know who the author is or the title, I prefer using the keyword. Subject searching can be tricky, for example searching "Tort Law" as a subject won't bring up any results. Using them as keywords will bring up books on tort law. Choose one of the results, and towards the bottom of the record there will be a subject line or lines. You can then click on those subject headings to call up more results on the same subject.

If you any questions, please ask one of us librarians.
