Using the Guided Keyword option

This option allows the most precise searching, and is really useful for those times when you're unsure of the details of authors or titles of books. Access the Guided Keyword Search from the middle tab on the catalogue search page.

The dropdown boxes allow you to specify where to look for the words. For example, you can search for keywords in an author's name or keywords from a title.

Guided Keyword Search is also useful for the publications of conferences or organisations where the author's name is often not obvious.

You can't use any operators such as OR, AND, " " or ( ) within the Guided Keyword search boxes but you can use the drop down options at the end of each box.

all of these = AND
any of these = OR
as a phrase = " "
