| SEARCHING FEATURES
|
|||
| Keyword Searching | Searches every field in the record (brings up a lot, but not always relevant material). | ||
| Advanced Searching | Allows you to customize your search to look for words in the title, subject field or elsewhere in the record. | ||
| Browse Alphabetically | Searches the subject field in the record (what the book is about). This is the best way to find what the HBLL has about an author: simply enter the author's last name, first name (for example "Frost, Robert") and you'll get a list of works on Frost: bibliographies, biographies, criticism and interpretation, etc. |
||
| An efficient way to search the Lee Library catalog is to use a subject search. When you search by subject, you're searching book records for their contents, and not just for key words in book titles. The trick is to know how your subject is phrased in the Lee Library catalog. Some examples of recognizable subject terms: Folklore, Mythology, and/or Storytelling. To search by subject, select the "Browse" or "Advanced" search option(s), enter your subject, Folklore, for example in the "Search Term" box and click on "Subject"as the search category. Now browse the related headings to find other related subjects. For example: if you subject search for Folklore, then click on “related headings,” you'll see listed the narrower subject terms, Ethnology, Literature and Folklore, Mormon Pioneers Folklore, Mormons Folklore, Symbolism in Folklore, Trickster, Urban Folklore, and Material Culture among many others. | |||
| Truncation | Use the "$" to search for the variations on a root word: "poet$" will retrieve "poets," "poetry," "poetic," "poetics," etc. |
||
| OTHER FEATURES | |||
| Subject Links | When you're looking at a book record in the HBLL catalog, check the highlighted subject links, you may want to click on one to bring up other titles in the HBLL that deal with the same subject. | ||
| Call Number Browsing | When you find a book on your subject, click on the highlighted call number in the upper LH corner of the HBLL catalog record to see what other books are near it on the shelf. | ||
