Search help
Using "AND"
If you put an "AND" between two words or phrases, you require that
both these words or phrases shall be contained in the reference. If, for
example, you are searching for international AND transport,
you will find references that contain both these words.
Using "OR"
If you want to search for synonyms or translations of a word or phrase,
you put an "OR" between these, for example kollektivtrafik
OR public transport.
Using "NOT"
You can also exclude references which contain a certain word or phrase by
using "NOT". If you are searching for transport NOT international,
you will get hits for all references that contain transport but not
international.
Word or phrase
If you write a word and click the search button, the database will search
for references where precisely this word occurs. You can also search for a
phrase, for example traffic safety. You will then get hits for
references where these two words occur together in just this way.
Truncating
By truncating with a question mark ?, you replace the beginning and/or end
of a word. If you are searching for transport?, you will get
references that contain the words transporter, transportation,
transportkostnad etc. You can also truncate the word from the left, for
example ?transport? will give hits for transport, transportation,
godstransporter etc.
Using parentheses
More refined searches are possible if you use parentheses, for example
(accident OR safety) AND (investigation OR reconstruction).
Without parentheses, the search for safety AND investigation
would first be executed, and then all that concerns accident and
reconstruction would be added.
The field "freetext"
If you write a word or phrase in this field, the entire database will
be searched for the occurrence of this word or phrase. In the freetext
field you can use "AND", "OR" and "NOT", as
well as parentheses and truncation.
The field "ISSN"
In this field you can search for the ISSN of the periodical.
Searching simultaneously in "freetext" and "ISSN"
If you write a word or phrase in the freetext field and a number in the
ISSN field, you are searching for references where both the word/phrase
and the number occur.
