Help - Begins With (Title, Serial Title…)

This includes search types such as the following:

Title (Begins With) searches for any item by its title
Serial Title (Begins With) searches for serials by their title. Serials include journals, newspapers, magazines etc.
Article Title (Begins With), on Index New Zealand, searches for articles by their title
Source Journal (Begins With), on Index New Zealand, searches for indexed serials by their title

A Begins With search is an efficient search when you know the title of the item you want.

Points to note:

Type in the first few words of the title. Examples:
- journal of the polynesian
- living in the maniototo
- living in the mani
In general you must omit initial articles such as The, A, An, Le, La, L’, Te, Nga.
Example: Sun also rises will find ‘The sun also rises’. There are occasional exceptions, so if your search doesn’t work it is worth trying with the initial article included. Note that you must include the Maori initial articles Te and Nga if they are part of a proper name.

A Begins With search will display an alphabetical list of titles starting with the words you typed. See Titles List for more information.
