DELCAT Help

Today an English class was sent on a scavenger hunt throughout the library.  Many of the students came up to our service desk for help finding items - one was looking for a map of Puerto Rico.  At first I did not know how to search for maps on DELCAT, but after asking a staff member I was informed of the "format" option under the advanced search.  This lets users filter through a range of options (maps, microforms, videos, etc.) to narrow down their search.  Many of us at the SMDC may have already known this, but for those of you like me who were not previously aware of how to search DELCAT for materials other than the usual books and articles, its a good feature to know about when helping users find what they're looking for.
