MMW3 Search Tips

libmarlo — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 18:54:31 CDT

Use the links to subject tags: after you do a keyword search and find books that closely meet your topic, look for the subject tags at the bottom of each book description. These subject links (a.k.a. library subject headings) get additional books that are similar. Here's some broad MMW3 subject searches in Roger.

Add a time period: there are different definitions of "middle ages" or "medieval". Try adding one of these date spans to your search [example: "China and politics and 221 B C 960 A D"]:

221 B C 960 A D 987-1515

476-1492 early works to 1800

500-1500 history to 1500

618-960 medieval

960-1644 middle ages

Find primary sources: add specific words to the search.

Example: "women and medieval and letters"

archives	letters
autobiographies	manuscripts
case studies	memoirs
correspondence	oral histories
description and travel	pamphlets
diaries	papers
documents	personal narratives
interviews	sources
journals	speeches

Use additional keywords: searching for "foreign policy" as a KW search returns 14895 items; "foreign policy and china" lowers the number to 1272; "foreign policy and china and history" returns only 127 items.

Edit by Ayami: If you are searching under a general theme in a concrete time period, you should find an event/person who lived within that time period. For example if you want to research Buddhism between 100BC and 1100 AD you should find something specific to look up on Roger.
