Truncation

Due to the public holiday All Saints' Day, all locations of the University Library
will be closed on Friday, November 01st, 2024.

With the help of truncation characters such as *, ?, $, all compositions of a word can be determined during a database search. It is possible to truncate both left and right:

 

1. Right truncation: A truncation character at the end of the word stem results in all word forms beginning with the corresponding word stem (example: auto* = automobile, autopilot, auto sport, etc.).

 

2. Left truncation: If the truncation character is at the beginning of the word stem, different word beginnings are searched (example: *school = primary school, secondary school, etc.).
