Search Tips
Printer friendly version:

This search will find any Author or Illustrator of the resources in the CMIS Resource Bank by finding any word in any part of the name.
  • Start searching by typing in an author’s surname, or at least the first four letters of the surname.
    Eg: 1. Typing in ‘paulsen’ will find works by Gary Paulsen.
    Eg: 2. Typing in ‘paul’ will find all items containing ‘paul’ as a Christian name, surname, and part of a surname: Paul Jennings, J. Paul Getty Trust, and Gary Paulsen.
    Eg: 3. Typing in ‘pull’ will find Philip Pullman and Christine Pullein-Thompson

  • If a surname is made up of two words, you can type in the first word of the surname or the two words with a space between both words.
    Eg: 1. Typing in ‘le’ OR ‘le guin’ will find books by Ursula Le Guin. Typing in ‘leguin’ as one word WILL NOT find any reference to her.

  • You may type in any part of the name you are looking for and in any order.
    Eg: 1. Typing in ‘paul’ OR ‘jennings’ OR ‘paul jennings’ OR ‘jennings paul’ will find titles of books by Paul Jennings. Searches using both Christian and surname will give you a more specific result.

  • You may use one or more Restrictor from the drop-down menus to limit your results.
    Eg: 1. Choosing Shaun Tan as the search name will give you all resources across all Learning Areas and Phases of Development.
    Eg: 2. Choosing Shaun Tan and Middle Childhood will give you only the titles by Shaun Tan that are suitable for students in this Phase of Development.

  • NOTE: In the Author Search, you may not get any results if you use the Learning Areas or Outcomes restrictors.
