Tips for Successful Searching
If you are having trouble with too few hits, click on the
boxes marked
"also search for related words" or "search
within full text." |
Try "Advanced Search" which offers the ability to
narrow a search by
publication type (books, article, newspaper)
and document type (abstract,
editorial, recipe, speech). |
| Don't use long phrases or questions in your search. |
If you are not receiving ANY hits, check your spelling. The
database
searches for the exact word(s) you typed. |
