    When you use the library computer catalog to find a book about planets, what kind of search would be best? - ProProfs

    When you use the library computer catalog to find a book about planets, what kind of search would be best?

    • Author

    • Title

    • Subject

    Correct Answer
    A. Subject
    Explanation
    When using the library computer catalog to find a book about planets, the best kind of search would be by subject. This is because searching by subject allows you to narrow down your search specifically to books that are related to the topic of planets. Searching by author or title may not be as effective, as you may not know the specific author or title of a book about planets. Therefore, searching by subject would provide the most relevant and comprehensive results for finding a book about planets.

    Books with facts are called ________

    • Fables

    • Fiction

    • Nonfiction

    Correct Answer
    A. Nonfiction
    Explanation
    Books with facts are called nonfiction because nonfiction books are based on real events, people, and information. They provide accurate and true information about a subject or topic. Unlike fiction books, which are based on imagination and creativity, nonfiction books aim to educate and inform readers about the real world. They cover various genres such as biographies, history, science, and more. Nonfiction books are valuable resources for gaining knowledge and understanding the world around us.

    Which resource would you use to find information about people, places and things?

    • Atlas

    • Encyclopedia

    • Thesaurus

    Correct Answer
    A. Encyclopedia
    Explanation
    An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work that contains information about various subjects, including people, places, and things. It provides detailed and in-depth knowledge on a wide range of topics, making it an ideal resource for finding information about individuals, locations, and objects. Unlike an atlas, which primarily focuses on maps and geographical information, or a thesaurus, which provides synonyms and antonyms for words, an encyclopedia covers a broader scope of information, making it the most suitable resource for this purpose.

    When you use the library computer catalog to look for the book, The Lorax, which is the best type of search to use? - ProProfs

    When you use the library computer catalog to look for the book, The Lorax, which is the best type of search to use?

    • Subject

    • Author

    • Title

    Correct Answer
    A. Title
    Explanation
    When using the library computer catalog to look for a specific book like "The Lorax," the best type of search to use would be by title. This is because the title is the most specific and unique identifier for a book, making it easier to locate the exact book you are searching for. Searching by subject or author may yield a broader range of results, including books with similar themes or by the same author but not necessarily the specific book you are looking for.

The call number typically includes a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols that help organize books by subject or category. By using the call number, library staff and patrons can quickly find the book they are looking for within the library's collection.
