How to find printed books

Keyword search

By keyword search, you can enter the author’s last name and some words from the title into the same search box. For example when you a looking for a book “Ancient engineers' inventions: precursors of the present” by Cesare Rossi, Flavio Russo and Ferruccio Russo. You can enter the last name of one author and some words from the title into the same search box: rossi ancient inventions

Useful tip: 
By keyword search, words may be truncated using a question mark (?) or a star (*). Question mark replaces one letter and star replaces several letters at the end or middle of the word acting as a placeholder.

Subject search

When you need to search books by a subject, use also keyword search (not subject search) because subject terms in the catalogue are only in the Estonian language.
