Overview of Searching: Google vs. Catalogues
• Search engine does most of the work
• Suggests other spellings
• Brings most likely relevant material to the top
• Access to full document
Traditional catalogues / databases
• Searcher needs to formulate searches carefully
• May not offer help on spelling
• Often relevant material way down the list
• Usually access to citation only
Overview of Searching: Google vs. Catalogues• Google search e.g. as you like it
Wikipedia often first result in search
Overview of Searching: Google vs. Catalogues• Catalogue search e.g. as you like it
Note: in many library catalogues and databases, typing in keywords without qualifiers can lead to
unsatisfactory results. Here, for example, the words as you like it are found anywhere in the record, not necessarily side-by-side or in the
same order.
Overview of Searching: Google vs. Catalogues• Catalogue search e.g. ‘as you like it’ – using single quotes to search exact phrase
Using a phrase search improves the results dramatically – all words must be adjacent and in the same order.
In the RIAM catalogue, enclose the phrase in single quotes.
