Abstract: This experiment searches an online library catalog employing author surnames, plus title words of books in citations of eight scholarly works whose authors selected the title words used as being recallable. Searches comprising surname together with two recallable title words, or one if only one was available, yielded a single‐screen miniature catalog (minicat) 99.0% of the time.
