Searching Items

Using LION you can search all the libraries in Newport from the comfort of your home.

Log in to LION and select search from the green menu bar. You will then be presented with the search page.

Using the dropdown list select to search by author, title or subject. Then enter the term you wish to search for (e.g. Dickens) and click the search button.


A results list will then be displayed where you can select items for reservation.


For more advanced searches you can select the advanced search option where you can filter your search more accurately.

If a search does not find a match you can follow the on screen instructions and place a reservation - there is usually a cost for this.
