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 - mining, engineering, rock, mechanics, planning, mine?, plan? etc.
Search tips for the library catalogue
| Truncation symbol: | ? | e.g. mine? will retrieve catalogue records containing the words mine, mines, mineral, mineralogy, etc. |
| Phrase searching: | "___" | e.g. "rock mechanics" will retrieve catalogue records containing the phrase rock mechanics |
| Boolean operators: | (), AND, OR, NOT default: AND |
e.g. underground AND (mine OR mining) will retrieve catalogue records containing the word underground AND either mine OR mining |
