Subject vs. Keywords Anywhere searches, cont.OK, let's say you are interested in learning how to make your own paper, so would like to find a book about the process. The first thing you might try is looking for paper making using a "subject" search. |
|
| If you get few, or even no results when doing a subject search, try it again as a "keywords anywhere" search. As we said earlier in the tutorial, a "keywords anywhere" search looks for your words anywhere in the records. The word you are looking for might show up in a title field, a subject field, or some other field in an item's record. |
|
| For this example, if you search for "paper making" as a subject you get very few results. By doing a "keywords anywhere" search you get more results and once you look at some of those records, find that the correct subject heading is "papermaking" - one word! |
