How to Search the Collection

How to Search the Collection

You can search the DLISR collection several ways.

1.  Simply type a word or phrase into the search box inside the DLISR window. If you have difficulty deciding which term to use for a particular topic or concept, see the list of search terms used to catalog. 

2.  Click one of the six "Smart Word" search terms  -- climate change, education, law, sovereignty, traditional knowledge, or traditional foods --  above the search box inside the DLISR window. Each of those terms collects from a wide range of specific and different, but related, terms.

3.  Click on and then select from the "Subjects" or "Resource Types" drop-down boxes beneath the search window.  These find resources that have been categorized in standardized ways according to discipline (e.g., ecology) and use/media (e.g., for the classroom, video, or journal article).

4.  Browse the entire collection as a single list of entries.
