A Quick Tour of the basics

Here's a basic tour of the basics of using BookWhere with Citation. 1. Select the database to search from a pre-defined list of hundreds of libraries around the world.

BookWhere searches all the libary and online systems you have selected, and displays the search results: You can display the full record for any entry in the list by highlighting it.
