Searching Effectively
Basic Search Tips
Advanced Search Tips
Use the operator AND to find only sources that mention both keywords.
musical theatre AND social issues
This search will bring back fewer results than searching either keyword on its own.
Use the OR operator to expand your search with additional keywords.
social issues OR gender bias
This will find sources that include either word, so you'll see more results than by searching for just one keyword.
Use the “QUOTES” strategy to search for several words in a phrase.
This will bring back results that only use that exact phrase.
