Use the online catalog, THOMCAT, 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:
- 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:
europe*AND history
Germany AND industr*
Use OR between words to expand your search terms
World War II OR Second World War
When combining "AND" and "OR" terms,
group "OR" terms with parentheses:
stalin AND (purge* OR moscow trials)
