Pathfinder lists items -- books, journals (including printed and electronic journals, magazines and newspapers), videos, manuscripts, etc. -- in most libraries at UC Berkeley. It does not list individual journal articles;
to find these, use article
databases instead.
Pathfinder offers exceptional power and flexibility in searching catalog records. Each of the searchable parts of a record (for example: author, title or subject) is known as an "index".
Pathfinder allows you to search many more indexes than GLADIS, the original command-line telnet version of our catalog. You can search using the name of the publisher, the place of publication, or information appearing in the "Notes" (which includes the table of contents of some books). Some of the indexes are highly specialized, such as a geographical index for newspapers and a music publisher index for musical works. To access the complete range of search options, go to the Advanced Search screen.
Most indexes are searchable in two ways:
- keyword(s) - looks for the keywords you type, anywhere in the title, subject, etc.
- begins with... or exact (both formerly known as "phrase" searches) - looks for the words you type, in exact order at the beginning of the title, subject, etc.
You can also limit the results of your search by factors such as language, format and date of publication.
