| Search Tips: | Limits | Limits may only be used with Keyword, Title, Journal Title, and Author (Personal or Corporate) searches. Limits are retained between searches until they are removed. Use Quick Limit to apply a single, commonly-used limit to your current search. Use Limits to apply one or more limits (such as years, languages, locations, etc.) to a search. Quick Limit and Limits cannot be used simultaneously. |
| Keyword | The default Keyword search is a relevance search that combines terms with 'and'. To truncate, use a question mark. For example: child? will retrieve child, child's, children, childhood, etc. To search phrases, use quotes. For example:"French Revolution" |

| Title and Journal Title | Omit initial articles (a, an, the, el, la, etc.) when doing a title search: lewis and clark journals rather than the lewis and clark journals |
