THOMCAT

Use the online catalog to locate books in Thomason Library. You can search by author, title, keyword, or subject.

• When searching for a PERSON, use AUTHOR or SUBJECT search, with last name first:

• SUBJECT searching requires use of Library of Congress subject headings. The terms below are examples of subject headings related to Postcolonial literature:
  

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.
