Expert search

Descubra cómo realizar una búsqueda experta, que le permite combinar varias etiquetas de índice y términos de búsqueda en una sola cadena, en WorldShare Record Manager.

Use an expert search to perform a complete search in a single string. An expert search is made up of a combination of index labels and search terms. With the use of Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), you can search through several indexes at once and apply limits at the same time. Expert searches can be performed in the basic search area or the advanced search window.

 Note: When performing an expert search for local holdings records (LHRs), you must enclose search terms in quotation marks to retrieve records with that phrase in any field or subfield (e.g., "EAST - East periodicals").
