To begin an advanced keyword search click on advanced keyword search from the Ohiolink library catalog main search page.
Advanced keyword searching allows you to combine searches in various ways including material type, language, and location.
For example, we’ll combine the keyword search “cats meow” with the subject search “folk music” using the AND operator.
This search retrieves only records that include “cats meow” and are related to folk music.
Limiting allows you to restrict your search by language, material type, location or publication date.
For example, let’s limit our search to retrieve books only.
Notice the icon in the format field indicates that all of the records are books.
Next lets limit our search to “CDs”
Notice the icon in the format field indicates that all of the records are sound recordings.
Next let’s limit our search to only materials located at a particular library, the Ohio State University Libraries.
Notice each of these items are held at Ohio State University.
