Starting point contains definitions, facts, figures and overviews
- Dictionaries help you to define your keywords
- Encyclopedias help you to get an overview of your topic and provide more information
than a dictionary
- Handbooks and manuals provide figures and facts
Use the catalogue
to search for more dictionaries, encyclopedias and handbooks
You can search the Library Catalogue to find books, DVDs, journals and other materials
If you know the exact title in the New catalogue
- At the search screen select a Title search
- Type in the exact title. You can use double quotes around phrases, for example, “room with a view”
- Link to online material or take note of the collection, call number and status to find items in the Library
If you are searching for a topic in the New catalogue
- Type in keywords from your topic to find catalogue records that contain all of your keywords
For example,
+management +ethic
- Use + before a word to indicate that the word must be included
- Another way of doing this is to combine keywords with AND (the AND must be in upper case)
- If a keyword search gives you too many results, you could add another keyword with +
For example, +management +ethic +communication
Truncation is generally not needed as entering any version of a word will retrieve many variations.

Database search tips
- Define your topic and identify the main concepts involved
For example human resource management and ethic*
- Make a list of keywords for each concept
For example
human resource management, personnel management
ethic, ethics, value, belief
- Think about how you can combine these keywords in your search using OR, AND or
NOT
Keywords on the same concept combine with an OR
Combine different concepts with an AND
For example
human resource management or personnel management
and
ethic* or value or belief
- Appropriate truncation symbols can be used in databases to find variations of
a word, for example ethic* finds ethic, ethics, ethical, ethically and so on
