Learn how to search for a specific user comment in WebDewey.
  1. From the top navigation, click Comments.
  2. Construct a search to specify the user comment(s) you want to retrieve.
    • Type search term(s) in the Search for box. Spaces between words are treated as and operators; you can also combine terms with or and/or exclude terms with not.
    • Select the index to search from the list to the right of the Search for box. Click the arrow to open the list; then click the index you want to use.
    • Use truncation to expand a term to include variant endings. Or use truncation when you know only part of a term. Truncation is useful when searching for a DDC number, a word, or a multi-word term.
      • Right truncation. Type the first characters of the word or the first par of the number (include as many letters/digits as you know); then type an asterisk (*). Examples: 610*, librar*, comput*, war*, catalog*
      • Left truncation. Type an asterisk (*) and then type the last part of the term. Examples: *073, *crime, *net
    • Use character masking (wildcards) to expand a term to include variant spellings or when you are unsure of the correct spelling for part of a term. Type a question mark (?) or a number sign (#) in place of the character(s) you want to mask. Use the question mark to retrieve variants of 0 or more characters. Examples: col?r retrieves color or colour; int?net retrieves internet or intranet. Use the number sign to retrieve variants of exactly 1 character. Example: wom#n retrieves both woman and women.
  3. (Optional) Search for comments in a specific field by choosing from the drop-down menu:
    • DDC Number
    • Parola chiave
    • Titolo
    • Note 
    • Utente
  4. (Optional) Limit search by type of comment (requires site license).
    1. Under Limit results by, select the type of comment to retrieve: Institution, Personal, or All (default).
      Not available with single-user license. If you have a single-user license for WebDewey, the Limit results by: option is not available.
  5. Click Search or press <Enter>. The system displays the Dewey comment(s) that match the search criteria.

    • The setting for the Retain Search check box is retained until you change it.
