Performing a basic search 基础搜索演示

The basic search function allows you to search by:

- key word

- title

- author

- subject

- series

Please see below for some examples of these search types. 

The basic search page also allows you to filter your results. More on these filters can be found in the other tabs. 

 

您可以借助以下信息展开基础搜索:

- 关键词

- 标题

- 作者

- 学科

- 系列

请参阅下方这些搜索类型示例。

基本搜索页面还允许您过滤结果。有关过滤的更多信息,详见其他选项卡。

After entering a specific search term, you can then select one of the buttons to tell the catalogue the type of term you are using. Using title, author, subject or series will tell Destiny to look in specific places for that information. If it doesn't match any records then you will not get any results.

By searching for keywords you are asking Destiny to search all record fields. This will return more results, but they may not all be relevant.  

 

输入特定的搜索词后,您便可以选择其中一个按钮,告诉目录该词的类型。使用标题、作者、主题或系列,告诉图书馆系统,令其在特定位置查找该信息。如果搜索词与任意记录都不匹配,那么您将得不到任何结果。

通过搜索关键词,您可要求图书馆系统搜索所有记录字段。此举可得到更多反馈,但并非所有反馈都与关键词切实相关。

您可以单击标题,了解有关此书的更多信息。其中包括书籍描述、内容详情、所获奖项等。

Searching by location 通过位置进行搜索

By selecting either Wellington College Hangzhou or WCCHB from the location menu, you can expand your search to the whole campus. This means that you have more chance of finding the books you need. 

You will need to look at the sublocation and copy details to check the item's location. 

 

在位置菜单中选择 杭州惠灵顿学校 杭州惠立学校,您可以将搜索范围扩大到整个校园。这意味着您有更多机会找到所需书籍。

您需要查看书籍分类和副本详情,核实此书位置。

Searching by sublocation 根据分类进行搜索

 

Books are organised into sublocations. Sublocations are generally based on the type of book or audience. For example, YA Non-fiction is non-fiction that is aimed at adolescents and above.

Searching within a sublocation can help to narrow down your results to find what you are looking for. If you need a non-fiction book, then selection a non-fiction sublocation will exclude any fiction results. 

Key information for sublocations:

- Atrium means that the book is in the Atrium Library on the second floor of B building (Huili Primary)

- stands for middle grades or middle years and these books are generally aimed at pupils between the ages of 8 and 12 (but that doesn't mean that other ages can't read them as well!)

- YA stands for young adult and these books are generally aimed at pupils aged 11/12 and over (some titles in this section are written with older teenagers or new adults in mind, so they may not suit all pupils)

- Reading Corner is on floor 1 of E building (Wellington College International Hangzhou)

- KS2/3 Non-fiction is located in the Wellington Library in E building 

- Many sublocations for Huili Nursery Hangzhou start with a letter and a subject (e.g. E.Animals)

If an item is not showing a sublocation, or you cannot find it, please speak to a member of the library team. 

 

书籍位置,按类陈列。书籍分类的依据通常为书籍类型或读者类型。例如,YA Non-fiction 是针对青少​​年及以上群体的非小说类作品。

在某一类别中搜索有助于缩小结果范围,找到您要查找的内容。如果您需要一本非小说类书籍,那么选择非小说类别,即可将所有小说类结果排除在外。

分类的关键信息:

- Atrium 表示这本书在B楼(惠立小学)二层的 Atrium 图书馆

- M 代表 middle gradesmiddle years,这些书通常面向 8 到 12 岁的学生(但这并不意味着其他年龄段的人不能阅读这些书!)

- YA 代表 young adult,这些书籍通常面向 11/12 岁及其之上的学生(该类别中的一些书名是为年龄较大的青少年或刚刚成年的人编写的,因此可能不适合所有学生)

- Reading Corner 在E楼(杭州惠灵顿国际学校)一层

- KS2/3 Non-fiction 位于E楼的惠灵顿图书馆

- 杭州惠立幼儿园的许多分类都以首字母和主题开始(例如 E.Animals

如果某本书没有显示分类,或者您找不到它,请与图书馆团队的成员进行联系。

Narrowing searches by reading level 通过阅读水平缩小搜索范围

If you want to limit your search to titles within an Accelerated Reader level range, you can do it here. This can be useful for readers new to English, or for those working on improving their reading. You can combine this with other search limiters such as sublocation.

More information about reading levels, including what they do and do not mean, can be found here

 

您在找书时,如果想将搜索内容限制在分级阅读的范围内,可以在此处进行操作。这对于刚接触英语的读者或正在努力提高阅读能力的读者很有帮助。您可以将该设置与其他诸如 分类 的搜索限制相结合。

点击此处即可获得更多有关阅读水平的信息,包括设置阅读水平的作用及其局限。

 

Searching for genres 搜索体裁

There a two main ways of searching for books of a particular genre. 

The first is to search using the sublocation option (first image below). The other way is to type the genre, or sub-genre, in the search bar and click either subject or keyword

Using the second method is useful as sometimes books contain elements of multiple genres. We can only place them in one sublocation, but the record can record more that one genre.  

 

搜索特定体裁的书籍,共有两种主要方法。

第一种方法是使用 类别 选项进行搜索(下方图一)。另一种方法是在搜索栏中输入体裁或子体裁,然后点击 主题关键词

好些书常常涉及诸多体裁,用第二种方法进行搜索会很有帮助。虽然我们只能将书放在一个类别中,但可以记录不止一种体裁。

Genres by sublocation 根据类别选体裁

Genre by subject search 根据 主题 搜索选体裁

Using Boolean operators to restrict or expand your search 使用布尔运算符来限制或扩展您的搜索

By using the AND / OR / NOT functions in Power search, you can refine your search. This is helpful when the terms used are in the title record. General books about a topic (e.g. the stone age) may not have the terms you are looking for in the record. In this case, checking the book's index is helpful. 

More information about Boolean operators can be found here. 

More information about indexes can be found here.

Boolean searches can be combined with other search limiters. This may reduce your results significantly.  

 

通过使用 Power 搜索中的 AND / OR / NOT 函数,您可以优化搜索结果。若使用的搜索词出现在标题中,这一方法会非常有用。关于某个主题(例如,石器时代)的一般书籍,可能您正在查找的词并没有记录在案。在这种情况下,查看本书的索引会很有帮助。

布尔运算搜索可以与其他搜索限制法结合使用。此举可能会大大减少您的搜索结果数量。
