Limiting is a way of making your search more precise by restricting
the results to titles matching a certain criteria. In the catalogue
there are two ways to limit your search:
Quick Limit
These are the most commonly used limits, and can be applied
at the point of searching. Note:
that Quick Limits are only available on the Simple
Search page.
|
1. Select one of the limits from the Quick
Limit drop-down menu on the Search List page.
The example below is set to retrieve items in the catalogue
that have a title of gladiator
and are a DVD.
|
- Continue your search as usual
- NB: Limits can only be used with Keyword, Title and Serial Title
searching
- Search limits will remain in effect until you click on Clear
Limits or Exit
Choose Limits
Use this option if the limit you require
is not available in Quick Limit,
or if you need to use more than one limit at the same time. Choose
Limits must be set before you type
your search terms.
Important tips to remember when using Choose
Limits:
- Once the selected limits are set, click the Search
button and continue your search as usual
- NB: Limits can only be used with Keyword, Title and Journal
Title searching in the Simple Search
page
- Search limits will remain in effect until you click on the
clear limits
button
- NB: Choose Limits will
provide the best results when used from the
Guided Search page
