Searching by Keywords
There are two primary methods for searching by topic: keyword and subject.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each method. Sometimes it is
useful to try both methods.
Keyword is a very popular way of locating information in an online
catalog. It allows you to search for individual words in the title, subject
and other fields in the record.
For example, if you did a keyword search using the words "space
stations", you would find items with the words "space"
and "stations" located in the TITLE
field. |
