Author/ Creator Sorted by Title
The "Author/Creator Sorted
by Title" search locates works by the name of the author, and sorts the results by title,
with editions of the same work grouped together. Note: for librarians, this is commonly referred to as a "name/title" search.
This search is particularly useful for finding works of musical composers, as
well as for authors whose works may have been issued in many
editions.
NOTE:
Search limits are not available.
Boolean operators (AND,
OR, NOT) are not available.
References
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 icon) as illustrated in the screen below.
Search Tips:
- In order to search the title portion
of a heading directly, you must enter the entire "name" portion of the heading preceding author heading, including dates when present
(e.g. dvorak antonin 1841-1904 concerto... ).
- 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.
- 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..
Alternative Search Options:
When the exact form and word
order of an author heading is not known, try either a Command Keyword or a Guided Search using the words of the author's name and the title that you do know with Boolean
operators (e.g., gottschalk AND mazurkas). |
