Ohio State Newark: Research & More: Find Books & E-Books

Search the Library Catalog

Items that are available can be requested from other OSU locations and generally arrive within three to five days, but a search can also be defaulted to just what is on the shelf in Newark.

Search Tips

Adjacency: Words can be searched as a phrase by enclosing them in double quotation marks.
Example : "art therapy"

Wildcards: Words may be right-hand truncated using an asterisk. '*' for 1-5 characters, '**' for open-ended truncation, '?' to replace a single character anywhere within a word.
Examples : art* [finds arts, artists, artistic] 
art** [finds artificial, artillery]
gentle*n
gentlem?n

Boolean Operators: Use "and" or "or" to specify multiple words in any field, any order. Use "and not" to exclude words.
Example : stocks and bonds 
Example : (alaska or canada) and (adventure and not vacation)

Proximity Operators: Use "near" to specify words close to each other, in any order.
Example : art near therapy

 

Grouping: Keyword search results are usually grouped by relevance to bring the most likely titles to the top of the list. Each group represents a similar level of relevance and results are sorted within the group by date or title. To get an ungrouped result set, use boolean operators to form a complex query. Click here for more details on Ranked Results
