Finding Book Chapters, also called Book Articles:
To find chapters within books, do a keyword search on your
topic, whether your topic is an idea, a period of history,
or a person. A keyword search will search multiple fields
of the record for a book, such as title, author, contents
note, etc.
Example: richard mutt
In keyword search in Ariadne, you can also search for your
topic specifically in the contents note field, where chapter
titles are listed. To search the contents note field, your
search would look like this:
Example: n:pop art
You can also find book chapters in the
Essay and General Literature Index.
In the Essay and General Literature Index, you can limit your search to book chapters by choosing "chapter" in the Document Type Phrase drop down box.
