8. Library Catalogue: finding items on your reading list 8 HINTS: the Library Catalogue can only be searched by book author, book title, journal title, etc.  Therefore, article titles, title and author of a chapter in the book usually are not searchable Example: You are asked to read the followings: 1. Lai, D., & Surood, S. (2008). Predictors of Depression in Aging South Asian Canadians. Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology, 23(1), 57-75. 2. Ren Y. (1999).

Cheng (Eds.), The Outlook for U.S.- China Relations Following the 1997-1998 Summits: Chinese and American Perspectives on Security, Trade, and Cultural Exchanges (pp. 247-265). HK: Chinese UP.

14. Library Catalogue 14 If we need to find something about a topic but we do not know the author or title, then use Keyword / Phrase Search or Subject Search E.g. I want something about romantic poetry. Try:  Keyword Search – romantic poetry  Keyword Search – romantic* and poet* (the * means insert anything here – e.g. poet* can mean poet / poets / poetry / poetic, etc.)  Keyword Search – “romantic poetry”

15. Boolean Operators 15 Using AND / OR / AND NOT  Try it yourself using Keyword Search:  tom cruise  brad pitt  tom cruise and brad pitt  tom cruise or brad pitt  tom cruise and not brad pitt  brad pitt and not tom cruise

16. Keyword Search or Subject Search 16 Keyword / Phrase Search: look for words or phrases appearing anywhere in Title, Author, Subject or Notes fields Subject Search: look for phrases appearing in the Subject field E.g. try (a) search da vinci as keyword; (b) search da vinci as subject

17. Narrow Down Your Results 17 Narrow down by  Add more keywords using AND (e.g. tom cruise and brad pitt)  Specify where the keywords should appear (e.g. da vinci as title words? da vinci as subject words? da vinci as author words?)  Add more restrictions by collection sets, date, language, material types, shelving location, etc.

18. 18 Under Keyword Search, you can Limit Results to Chinese or English; Books or Journals; Special Material Types; Between certain Years; Sorting Orders and More …

30. Search Library Catalogue or Electronic Databases? 30 Library Catalogue  Allows you to find out what items are available from Lingnan – do we have this book / this journal / this dictionary / this biography / this encyclopedia? If so, where is it located and how to get it?  But it only has information about the book or the journal or the dictionary as a whole; it does not immediately show you the definition of a word, the full text itself or the statistical data itself. Electronic Databases  Different Databases provides information at different levels. Depending on whether it is a full text database or bibliographic index database, it will provides the article level information, table of contents and often the full content (e.g. the article itself, the definition of a word, the photograph itself, a piece of statistical data, etc.)
