Use THOMCAT, our online catalog, to locate books in Thomason Library. You can search by author, title, word, or subject.
- Search for a person, as AUTHOR or SUBJECT, with last name, then first name:
- SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). The terms below are examples of subject headings related to this course:
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 |
Expanding Search Results
• Use Truncation
· Add * to the root of a word to truncate or expand a term:
magic* = magic, magical, magician
•Use Synonyms and Related Terms
· Use OR between similar/related terms to retrieve EITHER term
folklore OR folk tale*
myth* OR legend* OR lore
“La Gatta Cenerentola” OR "Cinderella Cat"
Narrowing Search Results
· Use AND between words to narrow your search:
Perrault AND fairy tales
wolf AND red riding hood
Combining "AND with "OR" terms
Group "OR"words in parentheses (nesting) when combined with "AND" terms
Sleeping Beauty AND (film* OR movie*)
Use "quotes" around a phrase (in ThomCat, PASCALcat, InfoTrac databases, JSTOR, and Project MUSE)
"wonder tales"
"Cinderella Cat"
