Truncations
Typing a special symbol at the end of a word to retrieve all possible endings of that word. If you wish to truncate a word while searching the MNCAT, the Library Catalog, use the question mark (?); other databases may use the pound sign (#), the asterisk (*), or another symbol. For example, k=chemist? in MNCAT retrieves chemist, chemists, chemistry, etc.
