Dyabola: subject searches

- In this demo we search the Archäologische Bibliographie (aktualisierte Version des Realkatalogs). The Zugangsverzeichnis des Deutschen Archäologischen Institutes Madrid works on the same principle

- This demo uses the English version

- Only one search term is allowed, but searches may be combined afterwards. See the demo: “Combining queries”

on textiles

textile

a German term

word

part of the term, e.g. texti

Summary

There are various ways to search by subject:

- Search: searches for words in the title and author fields. Use word variants (textile, textiel, etc.)

- Browse tree of subject heading: searches for descriptors assigned to articles. This way you find articles on your subject in all languages. However, you must be familiar with the subject to find the relevant subject trees.

- Search subject list only: searches for the first words of the titles only, and may thus give a lot of noise
