Library Catalogue8

Library Catalogue is accessed via the home page of the Library at http://www.library.ln.edu.hk/

Use author or title search if you know the author / title of the book or the journal Author search – type SURNAME and then Given

Names or Initials (e.g. enter Austen, Jane instead of Jane Austen)

Library Catalogue: finding items on your reading list

HINTS: the Library Catalogue can only be searched by book author, book title, journal title, etc. Therefore, article titles, title and author of a chapter in the book usually are not searchable

Example: You are asked to read the followings:1. Lai, D., & Surood, S. (2008). Predictors of Depression in

Aging South Asian Canadians. Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology, 23(1), 57-75.

2. Ren, Y. (1999). China’s Perceived Image of the United States: Its sources and impact. in P. Koehn and J. Cheng (Eds.), The Outlook for U.S.- China Relations Following the 1997-1998 Summits: Chinese and American Perspectives on Security, Trade, and Cultural Exchanges (pp. 247-265). HK: Chinese UP.

Library Catalogue14

If we need to find something about a topic but we do not know the author or title, then use Keyword / Phrase Search or Subject Search

E.g. I want something about romantic poetry. Try: Keyword Search – romantic poetry Keyword Search – romantic* and poet* (the * means

insert anything here – e.g. poet* can mean poet / poets / poetry / poetic, etc.)

Keyword Search – “romantic poetry”

Boolean Operators15

Using AND / OR / AND NOT Try it yourself using Keyword Search:

tom cruise brad pitt tom cruise and brad pitt tom cruise or brad pitt tom cruise and not brad pitt brad pitt and not tom cruise

Keyword Search or Subject Search16

Keyword / Phrase Search: look for words or phrases appearing anywhere in Title, Author, Subject or Notes fields

Subject Search: look for phrases appearing in the Subject field

E.g. try (a) search da vinci as keyword; (b) search da vinci as subject

Narrow Down Your Results17

Narrow down by Add more keywords using AND (e.g. tom cruise and

brad pitt) Specify where the keywords should appear (e.g. da

vinci as title words? da vinci as subject words? da vinci as author words?)

Add more restrictions by collection sets, date, language, material types, shelving location, etc.

18

Under Keyword Search, you can Limit Results to Chinese or English; Books or Journals; Special Material Types; Between certain Years; Sorting Orders and More …

Search Library Catalogue or Electronic Databases?

31

Library Catalogue Allows you to find out what items are available from

Lingnan – do we have this book / this journal / this dictionary / this biography / this encyclopedia? If so, where is it located and how to get it?

But it only has information about the book or the journal or the dictionary as a whole; it does not immediately show you the definition of a word, the full text itself or the statistical data itself.

Electronic Databases Different Databases provides information at different levels.

Depending on whether it is a full text database or bibliographic index database, it will provides the article level information, table of contents and often the full content (e.g. the article itself, the definition of a word, the photograph itself, a piece of statistical data, etc.)

Using Electronic Databases32
