Descubra cómo realizar una búsqueda avanzada, que le permite combinar hasta cinco índices y aplicar múltiples límites, en WorldShare Record Manager.

Use an advanced search to perform a more in-depth search than a basic search allows to find bibliographic and local bibliographic data. You can combine up to five indexes and apply limits to retrieve a more precise set of search results.

Perform an advanced search

  1. On the left navigation, click Advanced Search.
  2. From the Search Scope drop-down list, select a search scope.
    • Select My Library Holdings if you already have at least one copy of the item.
    • Select All WorldCat if you do not own any copies of the item.
  3. Select an Index from the list. See Searching WorldCat Indexes for more information on available indexes.
  4. Based on the index you selected, enter your search terms into the text field. The text field will expand to fit your search terms, if needed.
  5. (Optional). Enter up to five combinations of indexes and search terms:
    • Click the Add button (Add button) to add an index and the Remove button (Remove button) to remove an index.
    • Select a Boolean operator (AND, OR, NOT) for each index that you add.
  6. (Optional). Fill out the remaining fields. See Advanced search settings below for details.
