THOMCAT
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:
- SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress subject headings. The terms below are examples of subject headings related to food and dining.
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.
|
· Add * to the root of a word to truncate or expand
a term:
food* = food, foods, foodways, etc.
cultur*= culture, cultures, cultural, etc.
cook* = cook, cooks, cooking, cookery, etc.
· Use AND between words to narrow your search:
food* AND cultur*
