Truncation

On July 12th and 13th, 2025 there will be restrictions in our service offer. It will not be possible to borrow, return or renew items or pay fees. The Main Library AR and the Branch Library US are ONLY open as a LEARNING PLACE. Further information in the BibBlog.

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.).
