Effective Keyword Searching
Get better results with these strategies. (Note: some systems do not support all of these methods):
- Be specific: try molecular biology instead of biology.
- Filter your search: refinements may be available before submission or on the left side of results screens.
- Use quotes for phrases: "buffalo soldier".
- Try Qualifiers and Operators: AND / OR / NOT / + / -.
- Substitute "?" for a letter: wom?n = woman & women.
- * is a wild-card: elect* matches electronics, electroacoustic, elections, etc.
- Consider alternates: Try synonyms, technical terms, and follow links to "official" terms: subjects, genres, names, etc.
