Search Tips:

  • To be more precise, put key phrases in quotation marks.
    Ex: "civil rights movement"
     
  • Too many records on your topic? Try adding another search term with the connector AND.
    Ex: "civil rights movement" AND protest
     
  • Too few records on your topic? Try adding another search term with the connector OR.
    Ex: "civil rights movement" AND (protest OR march) note use of parenthesis to keep concepts together
     
  • Getting unrelated topics? Try eliminating a word with the connector NOT.
    Ex: "civil rights movement" AND (protest OR march) NOT "Black Lives Matter"
