Locating Books		back to top
THOMCAT		back to top
Use the online catalog to locate books in Thomason Library. You can search by author, title, keyword, or subject. Search for a person, as AUTHOR or SUBJECT, with last name, first name: Sassoon, Siegfried [as AUTHOR]   Sassoon, Siegfried [as SUBJECT]   SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress (LC) subject headings. The terms below are examples of LC subject headings related to World War I:       EXAMPLES OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS SUBJECT HEADINGS           World War, 1914-1918 -- Causes     World War, 1914-1918 -- Economic aspects -- Germany     World War, 1914-1918 -- Germany     World War, 1914-1918 -- History     World War, 1914-1918 -- Influence     World War, 1914-1918 -- Naval operations     World War, 1914-1918 -- Peace     Germany -- History -- 1871-1918     France -- History -- 20th century     Great Britain -- History -- 20th century     Europe -- History -- 20th century     Europe -- Politics and government -- 20th century     Europe -- Social conditions -- 20th century         Subject searching is an effective and precise method of searching the catalog, however, KEYWORD searching has benefits, also. 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: europe* = europe, european, europeans · Use AND between words to narrow your search: europe* AND history women AND First World War · Use OR between words to expand your search terms: World War I OR Great War OR First World War Try KEYWORD searching with THOMCAT, other library catalogs, and 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.
