Finding further information
Using the
Library Catalogue
1) to find other books with the same subject headings as those on your
reading list
- go to the Library Home
page
- type the title of the known book in the search bar
- from the full record for that title, scroll down the grey column to
Subject Heading(s):
- click on the heading to the right that suits your topic, eg.
Historic buildings South Australia.
- from the list of
headings that is presented, click on the heading that best suits your
query
2) to find books on a topic, use the Keyword search option
- go to the
Library Home page
- at the box under quick
search scroll down and select Keyword
- think of words you would
expect to find in the Title or Subject Heading for the book to be
useful to you
- type these words in the search bar, with the word and in between
each search word, eg. historic and
building and
adelaide (and
is a command to the computer which tells it to find any records which
include all of your search terms).
- improve your search by
-- adding the truncation
symbol ?
to pick up different endings to a word, such as singular and plural, eg.
historic and
building?
and
adelaide
-- add alternative word for a concept. It is most important that
you separate alternative words with or ,
AND that you enclose these words in brackets, eg. (historic
or
heritage or
conservation) and
building?
and
adelaide
Scanning the shelves in
the BSL Main Collection in relevant Dewey numbers
It is more efficient to search the Catalogue to see what ought to be
where, but sometimes you may want to see what is on the shelves. There
is no handy Dewey Classification Number for the concept of
conservation. Conservation issues are found as aspects of a
number of topics. The table below lists some of the more
widely-used numbers.

Using Indexes and
Databases to find out what articles, books or reports have been
