Word Search Game

This game is for those who are comfortable searching the online catalogue. It is an entertaining romp down the wide and wonderful, lush boulevard of periodicals. You may have seen the wondrous wall in the second lounge in your favourite local library, replete with all manner of journals, magazines, newsletters and newspapers. What you may not have realised is the collection is listed online as well. Before even venturing forth to the library you can have a list in hand of all the good things you need to read once here.

Let's begin. Think of a word, any word - art, film, music. The list could go on and on. Amble on over to the main search page of the Eleanor London Côte Saint-Luc Public Library catalogue and choose the fourth option, WORD, from the left menu. Click on it, you are whisked away to the second page, type in your word, tap the "Submit" button and then behold your lovely results.

But it does not end there. Wait. It gets better. At the top of the page you will see "WORD" in the left drop down menu field, your specific word queried in the centre field and then "View Entire Collection" from the right drop down menu field. Instead of seeing all the library has to offer, choose "Periodical Collection" and voila – a narrowed field, focusing on all the fine literature to read whilst taking time out of your hectic day to just delight in the glossy printed pages of magazines from all over the world. And if you happen to need some extra advice or want to practice the game with a pro, wander over to the library and ask your friendly Audio Visual Desk Clerk for assistance with the word search game.
