Principles of Searching

Similar ideas are expressed in a word with different endings. feminines femininities femininity feminisation feminise feminised feminises feminising feminism femin* will retrieve all of these words The asterisk * is a wild card or truncation symbol. All words starting with the letters before the asterisk will be retrieved

Anti-slavery OR Women’s rights movement Anything in either of these circles Is recovered Anti-slavery Women’s rights movement Boolean Searching

Combine search terms “OR” yields the most results Boolean Searching

“AND” makes your search more specific Only the overlap of the circles are recovered Anti-slavery Women rights movement Boolean Searching

Same combined search terms “AND” yields less results but articles are more specific.

Boolean Searching Add a third search term Even fewer results are presented.

Understanding Call Numbers

TR B The Call Number on the spine of the book tells you where to find the book on the shelves. Library of Congress Call Numbers

Academic Libraries usually use the Library of Congress Classification System, not the Dewey Decimal system. TR The first line is shelved in alphabetical order. On the library shelves you’d find books with the call number HA shelved before HB, TR would be before TS, etc The second line is a real number. You’d find 1 before 2, and before 178.9, etc...

TR B35 This line is both alphabetical and decimal. A number with.A-- would be found on the shelf before a number with.B--, B before C, etc…. But don’t forget this is a decimal number, so.B35 would be found on the shelf after.B214 and before.B This number is usually the date of the publication of the book would be found on the shelf before 1968, 1968 before 1969, etc...

Where should this book go in this sequence? BS 23.5.F578 BR 23.F466 BS 23.H4 BS F578 BS 23.7.F571 PS 3711.I76 PS 3711.F18 PS 3711.I7 PS 3711.I8 PS 3711.I975 BS 23.5.F578 PS Think of the answer before you advance the slide.

CUNY+ Catalog/Internet stations, 2 nd Floor

Once you have the call number look at the first letter of the call number and look at the Book Location Charts which are posted near the computer catalogs on the 2 nd floor.
