A Title Search will search for:
- Exact Titles
- Variant spellings and wordings of titles
- Analytic titles. Titles of pieces within a book, for example the title of a short story in a collection
- Uniform titles. Titles to make all versions of a work findable together, for example, all versions of the Bible will have the uniform title Bible.
This search will return an alphabetical list of titles. Type as much or as little of the beginning of the TITLE as you want, for example: hitchhikers guide.
Incorrect spelling will return a list which may not include the title you are searching. If you are unsure of the spelling of the title, type only as much as you are sure of (example: type latin american and car for Latin American and Caribbean Art).
When to Use Title Searching
You can use Title searching when you are sure of the exact title of a book, video, CD, etc., and you are fairly sure of how to spell it. You may also wish to use a title search when you want to narrow your search and find fewer items than you found with a keyword search.
