How to use the form.

Read this first!

---

In the form, different fields can be filled. After you have clicked 'SEARCH', a search will be performed for records that comply with the query you have formed by entering data into the fields. The order in which you fill the fields is not important.
Truncation is done automatically, i.e. the wwwopac assumes automatically that any string of characters is allowed after the ones you've already entered. This means that the search will include any word starting with the characters you've entered.
An example:
Entering comp in the title field will result in every record that has a word starting with 'comp' (such as 'company', 'companies' and 'competition') in the title.
The searchroutine is case insensitive.
