How to Use the Trillium List Online
The Trillium List is a living document, and the lists and database will be updated and current for each new addition and change.
Browse
You may browse the Trillium List pages by grade level, course, subject area, etc., by using the yellow buttons above.
Search
You may also search the List database using the boxes found on the Trillium List main page and the Search page, which may be accessed at any time by clicking on the green Search the List button near the top of the page.

One
Choose from either All Items (the default) or Recently Added Items to retrieve only titles which have been added to the list in the past 30 days.
Two
Select a specific part of the listing to search. You may choose:
Keyword (the default) to find words you would expect to see in the title, subject term, publisher, author, ISBN, or description.
More specific information such as Title, Author, Subject, Grade, Publisher or ISBN if you prefer your search terms only be found in a particular part of a textbook description.
Three
Enter your search terms and click the Go button.
Tips:
- Use the fewest words necessary to describe what you want
- Using more words will usually narrow your search and retrieve fewer textbooks.
- The search function does not support "natural language", so use:
"calculus and functions" instead of "what do you have on calculus and functions"
- You may use phrases with quotes. For example:
"Grade 11" or "Language and Writing"
- Wildcards and truncation:
Use _ (underscore) to stand for any single character, e.g., "wom_n" to find either "woman" or "women".
Use % (percent) to stand for zero-or-more characters, e.g., "lizard%" to find both "lizard" and "lizards".
- In category searches (Author, Title, Publisher, Subject), use accented characters where they are needed: e.g., "Guérin", not "Guerin". Accented characters can usually be produced with Alt-sequences, e.g., for é, hold down the Alt key and type 0233. Alternatively, or if you are not sure about the need for the accented character, use an underscore ("_") instead of the (possibly) accented character: "Gu_rin".
- The words AND and OR are understood in their mathematical sense of "both" and "either", respectively. Without them, the search behaves as though AND were between each word (Boolean AND is assumed between words, i.e., found documents must include all terms unless you use OR between them)
