Tip

The History and Combine options can provide shortcuts when you are using the catalogue for subject searches. Usually a single enquiry statement is not enough to do a thorough search: you may have to think of synonyms or broader and narrower terms as well. For example, a keyword search on "French films" will produce a different group of titles from one on "French cinema" or "cinéma français" (not to mention "motion pictures".....). eUCLid keeps a record of each search you make during a session and you can return to any previous search via the History option (in the left-hand frame). These searches can then be re-used: either Combine sets with AND, OR, NOT, or Modify them with extra terms. This can save you retyping a complicated search statement for each enquiry.
