Basic Search is a simple interface that allows you to enter and search any word or phrase.
As soon as you start typing in the search box, a drop-down menu will appear allowing you to choose the kind of search you prefer. Currently these options are as follows:
Choose the option that best reflects your research or information need.
Everything | Select this option for results that include articles, books, and other materials owned or licensed by U of T. |
---|---|
Catalogue | Select this option for results that exclude articles. This option narrows your results. |
The search you enter can be very simple, without using any expert techniques.
If you are a more experienced researcher, Basic Search also allows you to use search operators that broaden or narrow your results.
If you would like to learn more about using "search operators" to improve your results, visit the Advanced Search page of this guide or book a consultation with a librarian.
If you would like additional options to help you narrow your search to the most relevant results, select Advanced Search.
