Sometimes you learn new things just by accident. I have been using the computer or online card catalog for the Pember since about 1994. It has changed several times during those years. I tried to look up some books a couple of weeks ago for a library theme and got way too many hits to comfortably sift through so I looked at advanced settings (which is “Open Search Options” under the search boxes).
I can narrow down my search by specific library, target audience, material types, collections, languages, and publication date. I knew all that, but there’s a small box at the bottom right that I had missed before: “miscellaneous options.” You can display 10, 20, 30, 50, or 100 results per page! This can give you one or two pages of search results rather than 10 or 20. I’m aware that there are the same number of results but it feels easier to look at one page of 100 rather than ten pages of ten.
