• The UWO Dept. of Anesthesia Perioperative
  Medicine Library catalogue is supported using
  Surpass Web Safari software. This catalogue has
  been customized for the Anesthesia Library
  collections.
• Please note that this catalogue is in no way
  connected or affiliated to either Western Library
  holdings and collections, or those of LHSC.
• The Main Page of the Library Catalogue provides a
  search function, and a persistent navigation menu
  on the left of the screen where you can
• Browse New Materials
• Expand your search options
• Review an item
• Read recent Library news in Bulletins

• Simple Search (located in the left navigation
  panel), is perhaps the best option from where to
  begin your search.
• You can search via
• Keyword, Title, Author, or Subject.
• If you are unsure as to where to start, a Keyword
  search is a good choice.
• Please note that Subject searches are in
  correlation with the National Library of Medicine
  Subject headings.

• Material Type is an excellent option for
  limiting your search to either a location
• St. Josephs HC
• University Hospital
• Victoria Hospital
• or by media type
• Book
• Multimedia kit
• DVD Movies, etc.
• Unless otherwise noted, all Media types
  currently have a default location of UH.

• Search Example
• From either the Welcome Page or the Simple Search
  screen, a Keyword search for Obstetrics
  currently returns 18 results.
• From left to right in the results menu, checking
  the Book Bag box will save that entry to the
  catalogue Book Bag to be accessed later during
  your session.
• The call number (in this case WL 704 W1865
  2006), is also the shelving location for that
  item. If you need assistance with National
  Library of Medicine call numbers, please contact
  the Library Assistant.
• The Type and Availability panels (along the far
  right), will tell you a lot about the item its
  location and the number of copies available.
• For example, Wall and Melzacks Textbook of Pain
  is located at the St. Josephs branch, and there
  is one copy available.

• 5. After clicking the Title of the selection, the
  catalogue will display more information about
  that record.

  Suggestions for you.
• Notice that along the right-hand panel, you can
  access your Book Bag of saved searches, or the
  original list of search results at any time.

7

• Useful Tips
• If you need more detail, change the detail
  option.
• If you decide to add the item to your Bookbag,
  the BookBag icon will reflect this. By clicking
  again, you can remove this item at any time.
• At this point in time, please do not concern
  yourself with Holding or Reserving materials.
  This requires that you Log In to the catalogue,
  which essentially results in one more password
  that you will need to remember. If you would like
  to have an item set aside for you, please e-mail
  the Library Assistant who will then Log In,
  reserve it for you, and set it aside for pick-up.
