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 health & medicine:
- Materials relevant to the study of health & medicine may also be found by specifying the era or dates, geographic area, or the material type in which you are interested:
Subject searching is an effective and precise method of searching the catalog, however, KEYWORD searching has benefits, also.
- Try a KEYWORD search if you are unsure of the exact title or the correct subject heading to use. 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.
KEYWORD Searching Tips |
· Use AND between words to narrow your search:
cancer AND treatment
· Use OR between words to expand your search and
group words with parentheses:
(alternative OR complementary) AND treatment
· Add * to the root of a word to truncate or
expand a term:
patholog* = pathology, pathologies, pathological
