The exception to this is that you will not be offered bibliographic (bib) fields when searching for media resources. You have to start from the Media→"Find Biblio records" or Media→"Find Holdings" commands to search on bib fields like title, author, or publication year. Those commands link bib and resource data in ways that the Resources→Find commands do not.
Note: when you logout of this session and login again, each Find screen will revert to its defaults and you'll have to add search fields again if you want them.
On all Find screens: drop date/time fields
Can't find the allocations (checkouts or reservations) you know are there? If the search fields in the left Find column include any date/time fields, use the X to the right of each date/time field to delete it, then Find again. The date/time fields in the Find column almost always default to an interval too narrow to be useful.
Note: when you logout of this session and login again, each Find screen will revert to its defaults and you'll have to drop search fields again if you don't want them.

(For example, try Resources→"Find Types"; what do the resource-type name and organization really tell you?) On any Find screen, toward the bottom of the left column above the "Reset Search" button, you'll see "Results Columns" with a downward triangle. Selecting this adds Excluded and Included list boxes just below, with left and right arrows between them. Select any missing field from the alphabetized Excluded list, and it is added to the bottom of the Included list. Now choose the Find button again and the results display on the right adds the field you chose as a new column on the right. As an example, using "Find Types", add the Path field to the results display, then click on the Path heading to sort on this field.
Note: when you logout of this session and login again, each Find screen will revert to its defaults and you'll have to add results columns again if you want them.
Find Media: search only your Checkout Center
By default, the Find Media commands look for media matching the criteria you enter across all Checkout Centers (CCs). If you only want to search your CC, use "Add search critieriaterm..." to add Checkout Center to the search fields, then set it to your CC and choose the Find button again.
Note: Bibliographic records with no holdings in your CC will not appear, even if you created those bib records in your CC. To make such a bib appear, add a holding to it.
