Keyword Search

One way to find all kinds of library materials on a specific topic is to perform a keyword search.

Use a keyword search when:


TOPCAT Main Menu

* Doing a preliminary search and need ideas for additional search terms (e.g., divorce)


* Combining two or more search terms (e.g., environment and laws)


* Searching for a phrase (e.g., "climate change")


Using the Advanced Keyword screen, you can select multiple values (e.g., format, language, library location, year) to LIMIT the types of items you retrieve. This results in a much narrower search.
