How can you find literature on a specific topic in the catalog?

The catalog allows you to conduct specific literature research using a title and/or keyword search.

With the Free Search field, you can search for titles and subject headings simultaneously, regardless of whether you mean the title of the work or the topic it concerns (Subject Heading).

• A title word is a word that must be included in the book’s title. It is written in the correct grammatical form of its respective language. Abbreviations can also be used and are marked with a truncation mark (). For example, automat can be used to find hits such as automat, automatic, oder automatisch.

• A subject heading is a standardized term (usually in German and singular) that describes the content of a medium, regardless of its title. For example: Using the subject heading “Tropischer Regenwald,” you will find the book Brazil and Climate Change.
