  • DescriptionUses the AUTH or OPAC Name/Title Headings Search with the keyword modifier AUTH@ and the searchBasic.js file, the webvoyage.properties file, and the display.xsl file.
    Composer/Author Title (keyword) finds records using a composer or author’s last name and keywords from a title. Best used to find works by a prolific composer or author. It is recommended to use a question mark ‘?’ to truncate words; for example, try searching for symphon? instead of symphony or symphonies to retrieve the best results.
