When choosing keywords to use for searching, think about your topic. What are the main ideas that you are interested in? What words could be used to describe these ideas?
Example:
Structure your search like this: japan and culture
"AND" in the search string tells the computer that you want to retrieve a list of books that have the words on either side of "AND" in the title or subject fields of the book record.
For a practice search, take a word from each column below and put the word "AND" (without the quote marks) between them into the box above and click on go.
