Some questions for the researchers…
- What is Title?
- Do all books have a Title?
- What about Videos, Kits, CDs, Websites, Magazines, Newspapers, Games, etc?
- What is the Title of this book? (With a book in hand…)
- Can a book have more than one Title?
- What is a Sub-Title? (Try to find a book with a sub-title… Teacher Reference is an easy place to find an example)
- Is this a good Title for this book? Why?
- If you wrote this book, would you give it a different Title? Why?
- What is the difference between a Begins with and a Contains search?
- How would you find this resource using a Title Begins with search?
- How could you find this resource with a Title Contains search?
- How do you do a Begins with / Contains search using the computer?
- What about in the Junior Catalogue search (if you have it installed!)
- What about in the Web Catalogue?
- Do you think you could show Mum and Dad how to look up some Titles in the Web Catalogue from home if they would like to see if we have a book?
Doing a Title Begins with Search…
- Go into the Catalogue (CMEPlus).
- Click on the Title and Other Searches tab.
- Type in a few letters of the Title you are looking for.
- Click the Title Begins button.
Play around with the results until you end up printing a list of the results, looking at the details screen to see if the item is available or not.
Doing a Title Contains Search…
- Go into the Catalogue (CMEPlus).
- Click on the Title and Other Searches tab.
- Type in a few letters of a word you think is in the Title of the item you want to find.
- Click the Title Contains button.
- Again, play around with the results until you end up printing a list of the results, or looking at the details screen to see if the item is available or not.
- Notice there will be some strange entries if you used a few letters that could be the start of a word or in the middle of a bigger word!
See Using the Results Screen (Resource Lists) for more details about manipulating the list of resources that appears as a result of your search…
