THOMCAT
Use the online catalog to locate books in Thomason Library. You can search by author, title, keyword, or subject.
- SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress subject headings. The terms below are examples of subject headings related to Postcolonial literature:
Subject searching is an effective and precise method of searching the catalog, however, KEYWORD searching has benefits, also.
- If you are unsure of the exact title or the correct subject heading to use, try a KEYWORD search using two or three of the most significant words from the title or subject you are trying to find. Place phrases in "quotation marks."
- Connect words with AND, OR, NOT to focus your search.
- Try truncation at the end of a word stem to retrieve singular, plural, and other variations of the word. Use an asterisk (*) to truncate from 1 to 5 characters. Use a double asterisk (**) to include word endings with an unlimited number of characters.
KEYWORD Searching Tips |
Add an ASTERISK * to the root of a word
for TRUNCATION.
This will usually expand your search results,
by retrieving any variations on the word stem.
For example:
child* = child, children, children's, childhood, etc.
>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<
Use AND between words to narrow your search.
In this example, all items retrieved must have
BOTH the phrase young adult* AND the word book*
child* AND book*
>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<
Use OR between words/phrases to expand your search
literature OR stories
Group "OR" terms in parentheses ( )
when used in the same search with an "AND" connector
(children* OR juvenile) AND (literature OR stories OR books)
