QuickSearch
Search Title, Author, Publisher, Category, and ISBN13 from one field
Overrides entries in Advanced Search fields
Use words or combinations of words most likely to narrow down your search
results: names or proper nouns.
If a search does not find what you are looking for, try shorter forms of the word.
Leave out AND, AT, ON, IN, THE, OF, A etc.
Leave out non-alphanumeric characters - use spaces instead
You can use asterisk '*'
as a wildcard, replacing 0 or more characters in the word.
Leave out abbreviations: Dr.; Prof etc.
Shortened words are automatically surrounded by wildcards, so if you search
for 'Co Kerry': 'County Kerry' will also be returned.
Word forms such as '20th' and 'Twentieth' are treated as different words, so you may need to run your search using one form and then the other.
