    Will the catalog show ALL of the books an author has written, or only show the ones the library owns?

    • Only the ones the library owns

    Correct Answer
    A. Only the ones the library owns
    Explanation
    The catalog will only show the books that the library owns. This means that if the library does not have a particular book written by an author, it will not be listed in the catalog. The catalog is a database of the library's collection, and it is designed to provide information about the books that are available for borrowing from the library. Therefore, it does not include books that the library does not have in its possession.

    The Title Search feature allows users to search for a specific title or keyword within the titles of documents.
