Advanced Keyword Search

  • The advanced keyword search can look for the words or phrase in all fields or a specific field (e.g. title, author, subject, note).
  • Use the Boolean operators (And, And Not, Or) to broaden or narrow down the search result.
  • You may limit the search result to a specific location, material type or language, and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple limits simultaneously.
  • The year limit allows you to retrieve the materials published in a specific year or range of years. The system will exclude the start year and the end year from the range of years. Examples：
    • From 2010 and To      → search for records published from 2011 to present.
    • From 2010 and To 2012 → search for records published in 2011.
    • From 2000 and To 2012→ search for records published from 2001 to 2011.
