- SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress subject headings. The terms below are examples of subject headings related to biology:
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.
|
· 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:
Enlightenment AND France
French Revolution AND causes
Use OR between words to expand your search terms
first estate OR roman catholic church
Use "QUOTATION MARKS" around a phrase to search the exact phrase
"old regime" OR "ancien regime"..
When combining "AND" and "OR" terms,
group "OR" terms with parentheses ( )
French revolution AND (first estate OR roman catholic church)
