Exact Search
The Exact Search allows you to:
- search for materials when you have exact information, such as author or title.
- search by specific pieces of information such as call number.
- search specific GIL record fields.
When should I use an Exact Search?
Use the Exact Search when:
- You have the complete information for a title, author, etc.
Examples:- Search for the book The Business of America.
- It is not necessary to capitalize the first letter of proper nouns or titles.
- Since the title begins with an article (the), omit the article
and begin the search with business. (You can omit any article {a,
an, the} at the beginning of a title.)
- Search for the scholarly journal American Journal of Speech and
Language Pathology.
- Once again, it is not necessary to capitalize the first letters of titles.
- GIL allows you to search for a periodical (newspaper, magazine,
journal) in your library, but GIL does not allow you to search for
articles in a periodical.
