Types of Searches: Title Search
A title search will retrieve records with the search terms in the title field. The advantage of this search type is that it saves time when you have the title of a source. Another advantage is using this field search to find sources about your topic. If your search term appears in the title, most likely it is about your topic. The disadvantage of this is it excludes relevant source without the terms in the title.
A library catalog often has only one title field. Where as an academic database often has tow title fields: periodical title and article title.
Title Search Tips
Omit articles (such as "a," "an," "the" and their foreign language equivalents) when they are the first word of the title.
Example:
"The
Jungle Book" - type: jungle book
"Das
Kapital" - type: kapital
