•
Keyword Search is available by
clicking the Keyword Search link on
the Home Page.
•
Choose the Heading (All Headings,
Author, Title, etc.) of your choice to
search from the drop-down menu.
•
Keyword Search lets you search for
items based on the keywords you
enter. You can use one or more
keywords as your search term. When
you use two or more words in a search
term, the system searches for items
that contain all the words.
•
Advanced Search

• Searching
•
Keyword Search
•
Keyword Search is the broadest
search method. You can use one
or more keywords as your search
term.
•
When you use two or more words
in a search term, the system
searches for items that contain all
the words.
•
It lets you search all indexes at
once or a selected index at a time
to find items based on the
keywords you enter.
•
You can select one of the indexes,
such as:
•
Title (book, CD, DVD), Author,
Subject, Journal Title
•
Various Numbers assigned to
resources, such as:
– Item Call Number (the Dewey
Decimal Number used for Keiser
materials),
– ISBN,
– ISSN,
– GPO Sudoc Number (the number
used in Government Documents),
– LCCN (Library of Congress Call
Number), etc.
•
The Search Term above “Hemingway” yields the
various Search Results as you change the Indexes
used with your Search term. See screens below.
Search Results: Works by Hemingway ( Keyword
Search by Author)
Search Results: Works about Hemingway
(Keyword Search by Subject)
All Headings (after you enter your
search term, the system will
search for library items that fall
into any of the indexes listed
above).
Search Results: Works by as well as about
Hemingway and more (Keyword Search by
All Headings)
• Searching
.
•
Browse
•
Browse lets you search all indexes
at once (Author, Title, Subject) or
a selected index, to find items
based on the term you enter (See
the previous slide for the types of
indexes.)
•
You can use one or more words in
your search term. No matter how
many or how few characters you
use, you will always get results
closest to the term you entered.
•
Browse differs from Keyword
Search and Advanced Search in
the way the system reads your
search terms and in the way results
are displayed.
•
When using Browse, the system
reads your search term as a string
of characters, not as separate
words.
•
For example, if your search term is
'cats', the system finds the first term
in the library’s catalog that starts
with the letter C.
•
Next, it uses the letter A to find the
first term that uses CA.
•
Finally, the letter T is used to match
the first term using CAT. When the
search is complete, the system
shows an alphabetical list of terms,
beginning with the term that most
closely matches your search term.
•
Browse is a quick way to find a
preliminary set of results;
however, the scope of results is
too broad, not as specific as the
results obtained with a Keyword
Search or Advanced Search.
Browse Search Results: The screen above shows
materials resulted from the Search Term “cat” and
variations of it using the All Headings index.
Notice that the scope of the resources is too broad
as the results include words unrelated to the animal
“cat” (if that is the specific word you are searching.)
Among the words included in the results are
“cataclastic,” “cataclysmic,” “catacombs.” The
Browse type of search is a good initial way to look
for results if you are unsure of the correct spelling
for your term.
As shown on the Search Results Screen
above, the Journal Title Search using the Term
“cat” results in publications whose titles contain
the letters “C,” “A,” and “T” but not necessarily
together.
•
Searching
•
Advanced Search
•
Using And, Or and Not with
Advanced Search:
•
Advanced Search lets you create
complex searches. You can use up to
three search terms and the logical
functions And, Or and Not. This way,
you can limit an undesirable large
number of search results.
•
And - Finds items that contain the 1st
search term And the 2nd search term.
•
Or - Finds items that contain the 1st
search term Or the 2nd search term.
•
Not - Finds items that contain the 1st
search term but Not the 2nd search term.
•
Selecting a specific Index with
Advanced Search:
•
You can select a separate search index
(such as Title, Author, Subject, etc. or
All Headings) for each search term.
•
Using a Search Qualifier with
Advanced Search:
•
You can also add Search Qualifiers to
your search. Search qualifiers let you
limit your search results to items of a
selected media, form, language and/or
publication date. You can use one or
more qualifiers on any Advanced Search.
•
Limiting your search results by the
Publication Date: if you are interested in
recent publications, e.g., 2005 and
subsequent years, then use the following
Search Qualifier: >=2005.
•
You can limit search results to items
published before or after a specified year,
if you use the characters ">=" and "<="
plus the year you specify.
•
To limit search results to a range of
years, enter the desired start and end
year in the Year of Pub text box.
Examples:
–
–
1975 to 1977
1975 - 1977
Using the Advanced Search to better define and
limit your Search Results.
If you are only interested in the genetic aspects of the
cell, the Search Term cell, the word and (as a logical
function) and the Search Term genetic aspects will
result in titles that only cover the genetic aspects of the
cell.
Search Results yielded by the Search Terms Cell
and Genetic Aspects using and (having selected
and on the Logical Function bar.)
The Advanced Search using the Term Cancer
results in 234 titles.
If you want publications from 2005 to present, you
can use a Search Qualifier. The Term Cancer,
limited by the Search Qualifier Publication Date
“>=2005”), as seen on the screen above, results in
84 titles as indicated below.
•
Recent Items Search
(Publications Recently Added
to your Library)
•
Recent Items search lets you find items
recently added to your library. Recent
Items search is similar to Advanced
Search, but also lets you select the time
period during which the items were
added.
•
You can choose to search for all items
added to your library during a specified
time period. Click on the inverted triangle
of the Search Items Added box to select
a specific time period you are interested
in and click the Search button.
•
You can limit the results by entering
keywords and/or selecting search
qualifiers. Search qualifiers let you limit
your search results to items of a selected
media, form, language and/or
publication date. You can use one or
more qualifiers on any Recent Items
search. See Using Search Qualifiers
below for additional explanation.
•
Using Search Qualifiers
•
You can use search qualifiers with
Advanced Search or Recent Items
search. Search qualifiers let you limit
your search results to items of a selected
media, form, language and/or
publication date. You can use one or
more qualifiers on any Advanced Search
or Recent Items search.
•
Sort By - The Sort By qualifier lets you
chose the sort order for search results.
Select the sort order from the Sort By
menu. The default sort is Alphabetically
by Title.
•
Scoping in - The Scoping in qualifier lets
you select groups of libraries or specific
library locations. Select the group you
want to search from the Scoping in
menu.
•
You can search All Libraries, or narrow
your search by choosing Keiser
University only or Everglades
University, Keiser Career College, or
Southeastern School specifically.

Changing the Way Search Results Are
Displayed:
•
Your search term might generate only one result
(only one title) as in the case of a title search, for
example, when you are searching for a specific
book, DVD, etc. The first search results screen will
display the title you searched and the Location(s)
where the material can be found.
•
Clicking on the title on your Search Result Screen
generates a Full Display record. In addition to
Location, Call Number, Bar Code, and
(Availability) Status, the record displayed
describes the material in more detail instead of
just the brief record in a list of search results.
•
The Full Display record allows you to expand
your search as it may contain additional links to
information related to your title.
•
Such links might include: a table of contents, other
titles related to the Subject you are searching,
information about the Author and more. If you are
interested in materials with illustrations related to
your topic, for instance, one such link (in the
Description section of the record) would indicate
the presence of illustrations in that particular book.
