Fill in as little or as much of the form as you'd like. The more you use, the narrower your search.
Use quotation marks for phrase searching, e.g., "international relations"
For combination searches using a phrase and a word, put your phrase in quotation marks then use a Boolean Operator (AND, OR or NOT) within the same line to connect your term on each line to further narrow a search. Example: line 1: "public law" NOT resolution Operator drop down: NOT line2: "act to amend" NOT resolution
