Help with Acorn

Advanced Search Options: Search Only Videos

• Go to Advanced Search Options and click on the Other Searches tab.
• Enter your search and select the Search Only Videos check box.

Acorn will limit your search to visual format records in the database, returning all videorecordings, DVDs, motion pictures, and other visual formats.

To retrieve a list of all visual media in a particular library, select words anywhere and leave the search text box blank. Select the desired library and the Search Only Videos check box. Acorn will retrieve a list of items in last in/first out order.
