Finding Polaris Records

You use the Polaris Find Tool to search for existing records in your local database and to perform actions with these records without having to open them. You can use the Find Tool to do a basic search, or you can use various options to focus your search more precisely. If your library has established connections to other remote databases, you can also use the Polaris Find Tool to search these databases.

Note:
For information about searching for Polaris Administration records, such as libraries, branches, staff members or workstations, see Find an administration record. For information about searching for permissions, see Finding Permissions.
