Tip

In many library catalogs the search terms are automatically linked with "AND" (more about "AND" and other operators can be found in unit 3).

If you enter more than 3 search terms into the the Chemnitz library catalog, 3 items will always be linked with "AND" and all others with "OR" - similar to a Google Search. However, you can control these links by using the advanced search.

Sometimes the search result may not match the search terms at first sight. For example, some systems search for similar terms. If you enter “child”, hits with children, adopted child, preschool child, girl, boy etc. will also be found.

We will demonstrate this in detail in the tutorial catalog (DE).
