Searching the Author Field

Enter author names to search the Author field within a Full Record.

index

Enter the last name first followed by a space and the author's initials.

The system automatically adds the asterisk (*) wildcard when you enter only one initial. So, entering Johnson M is the same as entering Johnson M*.

Enter a wildcard after each initial in an author's name. For example, Johnson M*S* is a valid search query.

Note: You must enter at least two characters before a wildcard when searching a last name: For example: sm*

Boolean Search Operators

Separate two or more names by the search operators AND, OR, and NOT.

• Jung, Raehong AND Lee, Wonchan finds records of articles authored by both Jung, Raehong and Lee, Wonchan

• Jung, Raehong OR Lee, Wonchan finds records of articles authored by Jung, Raehong or Lee, Wonchan (or both Jung, Raehong and Lee, Wonchan).

• Jung, Raehong NOT Lee, Wonchan finds records in which Jung, Raehong appears but not Lee, Wonchan.

Mixed Language Searches

If you want to search for a Korean name and an English name in the one search:

1. Enter one of the names in the search box. Select Author as the search field.

2. Click Add another field. Enter the other name in the search box. Select Author as the search field.

3. Select the appropriate operator (AND, OR, NOT) from the menu of operators.

4. Click Search.

As an alternative, go to Advanced Search and enter a query that prefaces each name with the field tag AU. For example: AU=김정호 OR AU=Kim, Younghun
