Finding MORE INFORMATION on the topic
Use the Library Catalogue to find books and reports.

For an initial search select Basic Search, then from Search by: select Keywords (using and, or, not). Using the Boolean operators will allow you to make your search effective. In the Search for: bar type words to describe your topic, then click on Search. With the AND operator between your search terms, the Catalogue will find records which include each search word. For example:

adelaide AND heritage AND buildings finds 49 records which include each of these words somewhere in the record.

When there are alternative words for a concept, enclose the words within round brackets ( ) and type OR between each word. Where you want both singular and plural forms of a word, truncate the word and add a question mark ? to the stem. For example:

adelaide AND (heritage or histor?) AND (architectur? OR building?)

The resulting search report shows your search strategy and the number of titles which match that search strategy, followed by a numbered list of the titles arranged according to a relevance formula. If you want to see the most recent books first, go to Sort by at the bottom of the titles, and pull down to Date (latest first).
Where a title looks useful, click on the record number, in square brackets [ ] to the left of the title, to look at the full details. Note any other words you could use in your search.

Use the previous and next icons to move backwards or forwards through the list of titles.
Note the range of social and technical topics covered in the titles retrieved. For each title that looks relevant, click on the small check box to the left of the title to create a temporary file of these records, which you can email, print or transfer to disk. Remember to click on Retain Selected before moving to the next page of results. Go to the bottom of the list of titles or individual record for the Save Options box and select Print/Save or E-mail as required.

Where there is a relevant Subject Heading, click on this to get a list of 25 subject headings. Choose a Subject Heading of interest to find records for other books with that Subject Heading. For example:

City planning and redevelopment law
Cultural property--Protection--Economic aspects
Historic sites--South Australia--Conservation and preservation
Stadiums

Another way to use Subject Headings is through the Guided keyword search. From Search by: select Subject, and in the search bar(s) type words that you know from useful subject headings. For example:

south australia historic buildings [leave the default at] all of these
AND
conservation restoration [leave the default at] all of these
This search finds 1 record which include these two pairs of words in a subject heading or its subheadings.

Alternatively, if you are interested in conservation or restoration of historic buildings in South Australia, change the default, for example:

south australia historic buildings [leave the default at] all of these
AND
conservation restoration [change the default to] any of these where either of the words must appear in a Subject Heading. This is a broader search and finds 49 records.
