What tools can I use to search the Catalog and Databases?

Each has different tools but all use some basic features:

  • BOOLEAN Operators: Search by using the terms AND, OR, and NOT.
    • 'AND'连接两个或多个术语并返回包含每个术语的结果, such as 'college' AND 'cost' AND 'financial aid.'
    • “OR”扩展搜索,以便结果至少包含一个术语, such as 'Colleges' OR 'Universities.'
    • “NOT”通过排除某些词来限制搜索,比如“宠物”、“猫”、“狗”.'
  • 引号:将术语放在引号中表明您想要一起搜索这些术语-“红脖子”
  • Parentheses: Like quotation marks, 这些将术语分组,只搜索一起搜索的术语(地球和平)
  • Wildcard (?)和截断(*):这些符号通过替换未知字母- (se)来帮助您进行搜索?m brings up seam, seem, etc.)或通过包含其他词尾来查找词根单词的其他形式- (gentl*带来了gentle, gentlemen, gently, etc.)
  • 邻近或附近(N(耳朵)或W(内)+ #字):这些搜索两个或多个可能彼此附近的词. i.e. 'income N5 tax'搜索任何单词在5个单词内的地方(tax可能是关于income的). “Income W3 tax”搜索的结果与输入的顺序相同(Income -related tax), but not tax-related income).

See the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers www.mla.org/style (both are in the library). 历史和神学通常更喜欢芝加哥风格手册(CMS),也被称为图拉比安. 其他要考虑的是CSE,科学编辑委员会和COS,哥伦比亚在线风格. 每个人都有自己的风格或偏好,如何给予信用来源用于支持.
