Users can type a search term into a text box, or they can select one from a drop-down list. Wildcard characters can be used to give the user more flexibility in designing a search. With a search term entered into a text box, clicking the Add to the Query button will enter it into the query box. Then the Search button can be clicked to display the results of the query. Multiple characteristics can be added to the query statement, and advanced Boolean searching techniques can be used to develop complex queries.
Users can save query statements on disk to be loaded and used again.
This feature allows library users to save their work on a floppy disk from session to session. The search results are displayed in a list.

Biographies of key people are a mouse click away.
