Database search tips

Keyword Index

Use Boolean operaters to combine keywords.

AND - combines two or more words and the results will contain all the words

OR - broadens the search to include either keyword in the results; great for synonyms

NOT - narrows the search by excluding a keyword

Title Index

Enter a title, but exclude starting "The" "An" or "A"

Author Index

Last name, First name

Library of Congress Subject Headings Index

The subject of the book is about x, y, z.

A special language used in library catalogs and research databases, it can narrow the results better than keyword

Review the abstract or summary of the article for "Subject Terms" These are clickable and will generate a new search with the focus of the article on THAT subject. You can combined more than one subject in the Advanced Search Option.
