Each catalogue slso har ts own “les and limits as well For instance, i you type in the umlaut on "Schite” 4 chapter the catalogue may produce the information you are soekng or may p nothing because (tf not programmed to interpret dlaceital marks or twaton marks, The conventions of tansitrating some foreign language changed, so that, for instance, “Peking” is now regulary spelled“ “Rachmaninoff” may be peed “Rakimanins,” and "Tchaikowsky” spelled as “Chaikovek” The composers we refer to as "Machaut” or tina” may not appear that way in caalogues—they might be listed “Guillaume de Machaut” of "Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina"; “Ms and "Palestrina ar, afterall, names of ow not aly names.

If you have looked lerature on Vival, you ae aware that there ae several different for numbering Vivald's works; you have to know which set ofr sed in the particular catalogue you are using, When you are not seeking information on a particular work or poser if searches by composer and tite have not produced suficient ‘ation, or if you aze browsing for general information on larger topics propriate course sto search By subject or keyword. Searches by keyword sometimes get complicated. Diflerent catalogues ae programed to to different systems of keyword; tight happen that entering “Brahm ‘eubject not an author), “oper,” “concert,” or "sonata" will produce tier screen of information also might happen that t produces thing. iH yos are not aware ofthe general way the keyword system works in particular catalogue.

Once you get a the standard terms usd inthe LC system and the general way the ‘works, you can then transfer those same terms to Your own subject or ‘word searches Once one has some: using these headings in ‘word searches, one develops an instinct for choosing the terms and that are mot likely to work. Asa general rule, searches by subject or ienerally require even more imagination and persistence than other arches. ‘ne final problem with catalogue searches should be discussed Sometimes the searchers fist tri too broad in scope and proiuces so entries (catalogues genorally refer to individual entries as “records” {atalogue will no shove the enti ston the sereen and prompts the to lithe searchin some way.

Most on-line catalogues feature called “Boolean logic,” which allows the user to combine insuch a way that only those entries that combine all the chosen listed. Thus feature generally applies ony to searches by subject or by the ay, not to searches by author or litle. For example, one can "Mozart and opera"(°Mozart” asa keyword, aot an author only ents share both keywords willbe listed. Silay, one can usually exclude ‘categories of resources fr example by entering “Mozart and opera not recording,” one can eliminate fom thelist alletres that relisted as ‘ngs while stil including ther kinds of resources—books and, share the keywords “Marat” and “opera” Many on-line catalogues have their own shorthand versions of Researchin Music 9 egret tenner vt epee sehen iy age Mpc ge, Sa nd semen bea rclangs rr cetey mt echeg Space es eee re otras coh cee re egent capensis “iia ofthe wor in a search~sypony symphonic, Baan ctlogues aco avs sor code for speiving Lind of core and recordings. v's wort the time nea 10 url completly with any ctlogue you us equent the far haw abot how te nyt work, the ore eflccty you se ie carci and thes ne ar efor it wl ae tine or Peuityos ar ecingCheperSon electone eure, wl dice hee Sauer Aen te search pics arrow tht produces oe or asf tevin ao to short take rent to roan the topic such a way WBrcrmcover ntl raters can be very frastating toy a mnber of nan efor ton matenals eleven to your tpi ely ha ne ofan proces any ntoation; some amilary with fhetibary of Congres mjc headings formas maybe especial el [linger ht ste to say tt flowing the LC system, staring Aiton pesos ater than terme or genres wil prove tobe the bat Fits consider specific ope hat say narow.
