Bibliotekssøk

Bibliotekssøk refers to the process of searching for and locating resources within a library collection. This typically involves using the library's catalog, often an online public access catalog (OPAC), to find books, journals, media, and other materials. Patrons can usually search by keywords, author, title, subject, or ISBN. The catalog provides information such as the item's location within the library, its availability, and call number for retrieval.

Beyond the catalog, bibliotekssøk may also involve utilizing various databases and specialized search engines provided by the library to access articles, research papers, and digital content. Librarians are a key resource for bibliotekssøk, offering assistance with search strategies, refining queries, and identifying appropriate resources. Effective bibliotekssøk skills are essential for academic research, general information gathering, and leisure reading, enabling users to efficiently discover the information they need. The scope of bibliotekssøk extends to both physical and digital collections housed by the library.
