Guidelines for searching

Note that terms and operators can be entered in either upper or lower case.

To find records containing particular words, keywords, or phrases, use Search for. The operators AND, OR and NOT can (optionally) be used to define complex queries. For example, aircraft AND law will list all records containing both of these terms, while aircraft NOT law will list all records containing aircraft except those also containing law. Aircraft OR law will list records containing either term.

The Search truncation symbol (*) is used as follows: fish* will list all records containing words starting with the root fish, e.g. fishermen, fishing, fishmonger, etc.

Use Browse for to display a selectable alphabetically-ordered list of titles, authors or subjects. To find titles in the Titles Index, type the first few words of a title. To locate records by subject, browse in the Thesaurus by entering a heading such as Museums or Children's books. To browse in the Author Index, enter a name in any of the following formats: A. M. Gibson or Gibson, A. M. or Gibson.
