The parts of each record or citation in a database are searchable. These parts are called fields.
When you search by a field, the computer will "look" only in that field when it looks through all the records in the database. It will try to match your search term.
For example:
| |
Sample Fields |
Author Search looks only in the author field --> |
Title Search looks only in the title field --> |
Subject Search looks only in the subject heading field --> |
Date Search looks only in the date field --> |
|
| Author |
| Title |
| Subject |
| Year |
|
But... a Keyword Search looks for items anywhere in the record, including all of these fields. It is the broadest search.
