Search Tips

Keyword Search finds the words or phrases you type in regardless of where they appear in the catalog record. It is especially useful for finding:

How do I find?	Try this:	Example:
An exact phrase	Type the words in the exact order you want them to appear.	cat in the hat will find the title "Cat in the Hat".
Words that have different endings	Type an * (asterisk) symbol at the end of the letters.	myster* will find items with the words "mystery" or "mysteries".
Multiple words	Select "and" between words.	start and business will find items with both "start" AND "business".
Words with similar meanings	Select "or" between words.	turtle or tortoise will find items with EITHER "turtle" OR "tortoise".
Topics that don't include certain words	Select "and not" between words.	cats and not persian will find items about cats that are NOT Persian.
Words that are near each other	Select "near" between words.	fractal near geometry will find items about "fractal geometry".
Authors, titles and subjects	Select one of these from the drop-down menu on the left of the space where you type the words.	t:da vinci code Will find items with "da vinci code" in the title. a:clark, mary higgins Will find the author "Mary Higgins Clark". s: michigan Will find items about " Michigan ".
