2. Searching the library catalogue
Use the basic word(s) anywhere or advanced keyword search in the library catalogue. You can search using words like - electrical, electric?, engineering, computer, control, system?, etc.
Tips for searching the library catalogue
| Truncation symbol: | ? | e.g. control? will retrieve catalogue records containing the words control, controls, controller, controllers, controlling, etc. |
| Phrase searching: | "___" | e.g. "control theory" will retrieve catalogue records containing the phrase control theory |
| Boolean operators: | (), AND, OR, NOT default: AND |
e.g. nonlinear AND (systems OR control) will retrieve catalogue records containing the word nonlinear AND either systems OR control |
