It is the simplest way to search all of the music hire organisations in the country, including the National Library Music Hire service, at once.

2 Tips for Searching Search by opus or work numbers where possible. Use formal titles, avoiding popular titles e.g. Mozart s Symphony No. 38 K. 504 rather than Prague Symphony. Truncation * Use the asterisk at the end of a word to retrieve variant endings. A minimum of three characters must precede the symbol. Results will include records with 0 or more characters in place of the truncation symbol. Wildcards E.g. Symph* results in Symphony, Symphonies etc. # Use the hash sign to represent a single character. A minimum of three characters must precede the symbol. E.g. wom#n results in woman and women? Use the question mark to replace 0 to 9 unknown characters. A minimum of three characters must precede the symbol. Use the question mark followed by a number (1-9) representing the number of unknown characters. E.g. encyclop?dia results in encyclopedia and encyclopaedia Phrase Search re?4tion results in recreation, refraction, relaxation, etc. Use quotation marks to search for a specific phrase. Boolean Operators You can use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) in any search. Boolean operators must be capitalised and Boolean searches are processed in left to right order. Page 2 of 23
