Choosing the right index

Do I choose a Title Exact or Keyword search?

The main thing to remember is that if you know exactly what you are looking for (e.g. the exact title, author name or subject heading) it will probably be quicker if you use the Title Exact search.  If you only have partial information (e.g. some of the words in a title) then a General Keyword or Title Keyword is a better search.

To continue the tutorial:

Use the selection box in the example iPAC screen below to select the Title Exact Search index.
