Welcome to the Round Rock Public Library Catalog 

You can do a search by using the Basic Search, Advanced Search, or DVD, CD Search forms.

Advanced Search lets you search by multiple author, title, and subject keywords, and then refine your search by choosing one or more of these operators: Or, And, Not, or Xor (exclusive "or", meaning one term or the other only). Advanced search also lets you define limits and lets you sort your search results by specific criteria.

Keyword searching Tip: You can also search for items using a "wildcard" symbol asterisk *. The wildcard symbol represents a group of unknown characters in addition to those in your search criteria. For example: Enter hunt* for an general keyword search, the catalog displays titles by that have  "hunt," "hunting," "hunter," "hunters" and so forth in a record.   Use "  " to search a exact phrase in exact order.   You may use Boolean word Or, And, Not to combine keywords.  Two keywords without any Boolean words are considered AND.  For example, enter keywords of texas history will retrieve titles contain Texas AND history.
