Using the ROOT of a word to
get alternate endings
When searching by SUBJECT, TITLE, or AUTHOR,
you can search on root words (truncate) to retrieve words with alternate
endings.
| Author example: |
solz
retrieves Solzenicyn Aleksander, Solzhenitsyn 1918, Solzhenitsyn Ermolai
|
| Subject example: |
snow
retrieves Snow, Snow boarding, Snow, Charles Percy, Snow crystals, Snow dogs. |
This database searches on truncated terms
automatically, except in a WORDS search or in a LIMIT option.
To truncate in a WORDS search or in a LIMIT option, use *
| For example: |
christ*
retrieves words in which "christ" is a root (Christ, Christening, Christian, etc.). |
If you have question, ask library staff for
assistance.
