Try a KEYWORD search using two or three of the most significant words from the title or subject you are trying to find if you are unsure of the exact title or the correct subject heading to use. 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 to truncate or expand a term: europ* = europe, european, europeans, europa, etc. · Use AND between words to narrow your search: Europe*AND history   Germany AND reunification Use OR between words to expand your search: france OR french When combining "AND" and "OR" terms, group "OR" terms with parentheses: stalin AND (purge* OR moscow trials) Try KEYWORD searching with THOMCAT, other library catalogs, an journal databases PASCAL Delivers back to top PASCAL Catalog - If you need books in addition to those found at Thomason Library, try your search here for books in other academic libraries in SC.
