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:
architects
AND study finds 39 records which
include both 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:
(art
OR architect? OR design?) AND study
AND (france OR germany)
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
or Save To Bookbag
as required.
Where there is a relevant Subject Heading, click on this to get a list
of 50 subject headings. Choose a Subject Heading of interest to find
records for other books with that Subject Heading. For example:
Architecture--Study
and teaching
Architecture--Philosophy
Building--History
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:
building
architecture [leave the default at]
all
of these
AND
design
history [leave the default at] all
of these
This search finds 2 records which include these two pairs of
words in a Subject Heading or its subheadings.
Alternatively, if you are interested in history or design in building
and architecture, change the default, for example:
building
architecture [leave the default at]
all
of these
AND
design
history [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 38 records.
