12. Library Catalogue • If we need to find something about a topic but we do not know the author or title, then use Keyword Search or Subject Search • E.g. I want something about romantic poetry. Try: • Keyword Search – romantic poetry • Keyword Search – romantic* and poet* (the * means insert anything here – e.g. poet* can mean poet / poets / poetry / poetic, etc.) • Keyword Search – “romantic poetry”

13. Boolean Operators • Using AND / OR / AND NOT • Try it yourself using Keyword Search: • tom cruise • brad pitt • tom cruise and brad pitt • tom cruise or brad pitt • tom cruise and not brad pitt • brad pitt and not tom cruise

14. Keyword Search or Subject Search • Keyword Search: look for words or phrases appear anywhere in Title, Author, Subject or Notes fields • Subject Search: look for phrases appear in the Subject field • E.g. try (a) search da vinci as keyword; (b) search da vinci as subject

15. Narrow Down Your Results • Narrow down by • Add more keywords using AND (e.g. tom cruise and brad pitt) • Specify where the keywords should appear (e.g. da vinci as title words? da vinci as subject words? da vinci as author words?) • Add more restrictions by collection sets, date, language, material types, shelving location, etc.

28. Search Library Catalogue or Electronic Databases? • Library Catalogue • Allows you to find out what items are available from Lingnan – do we have this book / this journal / this dictionary / this biography / this encyclopedia? If so, where is it located and how to get it? • But it only has information about the book or the journal or the dictionary as a whole; it does not immediately show you the definition of a word, the full text itself or the statistical data itself. • Electronic Databases • Different databases provides information at different levels. Depending on whether it is a full text database or bibliographic index database, it will provide the article level information, table of contents and often the full content (e.g. the article itself, the definition of a word, the photograph itself, a piece of statistical data, etc.)
