Search Capabilities allow users to find resources by which criteria?

• A. Various criteria such as author, title, subject, and keyword.
• B. Borrowing resources from other libraries.
• C. Harassment through digital platforms.
• D. Digital citizenship.

Answer: (A)

Search capabilities in library catalogs are built on metadata that assigns each resource several common fields: author, title, subject, and keywords. This structure lets you locate items by any of these criteria—whether you’re after a specific work, an author’s writings, materials on a topic, or items linked by a shared concept. You can usually combine criteria and apply filters to zoom in on precisely what you need. That’s why this option is the best: it directly describes how search tools work and what you can search by. The other statements describe borrowing services, online harassment, or digital citizenship—topics not about how search features function.
