Finding Dragons in the Catalog

The catalog system is well suited to helping connect the patron to the books they need. In the case of Dungeons and Dragons, having an idea of what is needed helps in the search process. As the guide is keeping the novice library user in mind along with the novice D&D player, the guide will present options to find the needed books through direct searching or serendipitious browsing.
