and Scope Notes:
In search results, some retrieved headings
will not link directly to catalog records, but will supply
the user with links to related headings or scope notes (marked
with the ![[ More Info ]](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090109014924im_/http://authorities.loc.gov/images/seealso.gif) icon) as illustrated in the screen below.
Search Tips:
- Always omit initial articles (a,
an, the, das, el, la, etc.) in any language.
- Always omit initial punctuation in any language (e.g., quotation marks, ¿). Also, replace other punctuation with a space. (Exception: drop apostrophes and close up the space.) See examples, above.
- If searching the full title does not produce satisfactory results, enter only
the first few words of the title.
- critic (for Critic;
an illustrated monthly review... )
- mr potato (for Mr. Potato Head (Comic strip))
- new directions in ed (for New directions in education)
- history of the ussr (for History of the USSR, new research)
- Consider alternate forms of title
words:
- initials, acronyms,
abbreviations (e.g., us or united states)
- numbers (e.g., 10 or ten)
- one word or two (e.g., healthcare or health care)
- spelling variations (e.g., color or colour)
- similar concepts (e.g., british or english)
- word variations (e.g., email or e-mail)
- Searches are automatically truncated
and retrieve catalog records that begin with the words or
phrases you enter. Do not use the question mark (?) for truncation.
NOTE: Works entered under an author’s
or a creator’s name (Jane Austen; Giuseppe Verdi) are generally not searchable via the Series/Uniform Title Browse search. Search for these works using the Author/Creator Browse search or Title search.
CAUTION: The Series/Uniform
Title Browse Search retrieves only series whose individual titles have been cataloged separately.
For many series, the individual titles are not cataloged
separately, but the series can be found under its collective
title using a Title Search.
Example: Essays
in public policy
Prior to no. 109, the individual titles within this series were cataloged
separately, and these earlier titles can be found using the Series/Uniform
Title Browse Search. However, this search will not find the catalog record for the collective title,
from which there is a link to the full, electronic texts of the more recent
individual titles. To find the collective title for this series, use the
Title Search.
Alternative Search Options:
When the exact title word
order is not known, try either a Command Keyword or a Guided Search using the words of the title you do know with Boolean operators (e.g., yearbook AND anthropology). |
