On the Japanese-language pages, you can use Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, and alphanumeric characters. For alphanumeric characters, you can enter uppercase and lowercase characters. Both single-byte and double-byte characters can be entered.

Searches can use the original spelling (with characters as they appear in materials). Searches can also use keywords converted into Roman alphabet letters using the ALA-LC Romanization Tables of the U.S. Library of Congress. Some materials are registered in Roman alphabet letters only. An index is created for them. So if the search has no hits with the original spelling, convert the keywords into Roman alphabet letters, and perform the search again.

You can perform the following three searches by entering multiple conditions in a single search field or filling in multiple search fields (logical operation).

Entering multiple search values in one search field (enabled on the basic search screen and advanced search screen)

Entering multiple search values in multiple search fields (enabled on the advanced search screen)

Primary search items and secondary search items

• Keyword
• Title
• Author
• Publisher
• Subject
• Review
• Tag
• Classification
• ISBN/ISSN
• NCID
• Bibliography ID
• Registration No.
• Material ID

The following search items are called secondary search items. You cannot perform a search with a secondary search item unless it is combined with at least one primary search item. The search screen displays * in front of the item names.

• Publication year
• Country code
• Language code
• Location

There are two search methods: keyword search and literal search.

1. The keyword search is a search method, which is aiming to seek materials containing the entered words (i.e., keyword). 
   The literal search is a search method, which is aiming to seek materials containing the entered letters (i.e., literal). 
   
   In the literal search, you can specify the following search methods.
   

   Search method	Description	Entry example	Example of hit
   Exact match	In searches only those materials, which are completely identical with order of entered letters.	end	end END End
   Right-hand trancation	It searches only those materials, whose initial part is identical with the order of entered letters.	end*	ending
   Left/right truncation	It searches only those materials, whose intermediary part is identical with the order of entered letters.	*end*	weekends
   Left-hand trancation	It searches only those materials, whose backward part is identical with the order of entered letters.	*end	weekend

   
   
   
2. The following search items are common keyword search methods. If you would like to conduct a lliteral search with the folloing keyword search items, it is necessary to put "#" at the beginning of the search values.

   
   

   Keyword search item
   • Title
   • Author
   • Publisher
   • Subject
   • Keyword
   
   
   
3. For the following search items, a literal search is usually carried out. 
   
   Literal search item
   • Publication year (fill in the blank boxes instead of using */# symbols)
   • Classification
   • ISBN/ISSN
   • Country code
   • Language code
   • NCID
   • Registration No. (available only with right-hand trancation)
   • Material ID (available only with right-hand trancation)
   • Call No. (available only with right-hand trancation)
   
   By using the literal search, you can set the following search conditions in details.
   

   Search method	Entry example (Item: Search value)	Example of hit
   It searches materials that have a keyword "Japan" in the title	Title: Japan	History of Japan Tales of Old Japan America and Japan
   Searching for materials whose title is "Japan"	Title: #Japan	Japan
   Searching for materials whose title ends with "Japan"	Title: #*Japan	America and Japan A Rebirth of Japan Japan

You can search for books you need by the following items on the advanced search.

• [ONLY Nagoya Univ tab]: means that the search item is enabled only when using [Nagoya Univ] tab.
• [Second Search Key]: means that you cannot perform a search only with the item. You need to add keywords in other items too.
• Search results, which are seemed to have nothing to do with keyword you entered, are sometimes hit.

By adding the "$" in front of the keyword written in Roman characters, OPAC automatically convert them into Katakana characters to perform a search.

• Writing in the official romanization system, also known under the name Kunrei-siki, and the Modified Hepburn system is supported.
• The Roman alphabet doesn't correspond to the long vowel character. For example, please enter "$kiwado" not "$kîwâdô" when you want to get the same result in the "キーワード."
• _ means a blank.

Use of materials in eachlibrary/departmental library is different.

1. Check the Kanji and spelling of keywords to see whether they are correct. 
2. Are you searching by "Article title" or "Article author"? Try to search by journal title. 
   When you want to search by "Article title" or "Article author," try to search on [Nagoya One Search] tab. In such cases, you may also be able to read the text of electronic journals from a personal computer. 
3. If you still do not find the materials you are looking for, try to search on [Other Univ.] tab or [NDL] tab. 
   After confirming that the materials you are looking for are located in other university libraries, you can go directly to that library to use the materials there or get them from the library.
