Accelerated Reader search

Your patrons can search the database for titles that meet the requirements of the

Accelerated Readerr program. They can retrieve them if the MARC records have

the necessary information in the 526 tag (see page 635).
When the patron clicks the AR button, the Accelerated Reader Search appears:

Any entries

here are also

optional.

To narrow the search,

select the reading level.

Select a point value.

Click to open

the AR dialog.

The patron selects or enters a reading level range, point value range, and,

optionally, a subject and/or an author. The patron then clicks Search to produce a

list of items that meet the requirements.
The full MARC record display in the text interface includes subfields a, b, c, d,

and z (at Union Catalog Plus sites, subfield 5 also displays). The record display in

the visual interface includes subfields a, c, d, and z.

Lexile search
