Searching
Keyword Search
Keyword Search is the
broadest
search method. You can use
one or more
keywords as your search term.
When you use
two or more
words in a search term, the system searches for items that contain
all
the words.
It lets you search
all indexes at once
or a
selected index at a time
to find items based on the keywords you enter.
You can select one of the indexes, such as:
Title (
book, CD, DVD
)
,
Author
,
Subject
,
Journal Title
– – – Various
Numbers
assigned to resources, such as: – –
Item Call Number
Decimal Number used for Keiser materials), (the Dewey
ISBN, ISSN, GPO Sudoc Number
(the number used in Government Documents),
LCCN
(Library of Congress Call Number), etc.
All Headings
above).
(after you enter your search term, the system will search for library items that fall into any of the indexes listed The Search Term above “Hemingway” yields the various Search Results as you change the Indexes used with your Search term. See screens below.

Browse
lets you search

(

) or a
selected index
, to find items based on the term you enter (See the previous slide for the types of indexes.) You can use one or more words in your search term. No matter how many or how few characters you use, you will always get results closest to the term you entered.
Browse
differs from Keyword Search and Advanced Search in the way the system reads your search terms and in the way results are displayed.
When using Browse, the system reads your search term as a string of characters,
not
as separate words.
For example, if your search term is 'cats', the system finds the with the letter
C
.

in the library’s catalog that starts Next, it uses the letter
A
first term that uses
CA
.
to find the Finally, the letter
T
is used to match the first term using
CAT
. When the search is complete, the system shows an alphabetical list of terms, beginning with the term that
most closely
matches your search term.
Browse is a quick way to find a preliminary set of results; however, the scope of results is too broad, not as specific as the results obtained with a Keyword Search or Advanced Search
.
Browse
Search Results: The screen above shows materials resulted from the Search Term “cat” and variations of it using the
All Headings
index. Notice that the scope of the resources is too broad as the results include words unrelated to the animal “cat” (if that is the specific word you are searching.) Among the words included in the results are “cataclastic,” “cataclysmic,” “catacombs.” The
Browse
type of search is a good initial way to look for results if you are unsure of the correct spelling for your term.
As shown on the Search Results Screen above, the Journal Title Search using the Term “cat” results in publications whose titles contain the letters “C,” “A,” and “T” but not necessarily together.
