Advanced searching

  • Divide your topic in a multi line search.
    • One line should be devoted to your main idea, such as 'Emily Bronte'
    • Your second line should be devoted to a narrowing aspect: something you want to investigate. In this case, issues of money and class.
    • Do you have other narrowing aspects to investigate? Add a line
  • While I am asking for the database to search all of the terms in the second line, I am dividing them with the word OR. This means at least one of the terms needs to be in my results, but not all. Makes for a more flexible search.
  • Anytime I include an asterisk in a word, the database will look for alternate spellings or endings (wealth* = wealth, wealthy, wealthier/est)
  • Many databases allow you to limit on your results page by date, by peer review status, by resource type and more.
