ARIEL UNICODE MS is the recommended font for viewing Search Tips. The screen may not display properly in other fonts.
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
Author (Personal or Corporate) For individuals, enter last name first, followed by first name, if known: shakespeare william
Enter names of organizations or groups: american psychological association
Subject Browse Searches Library of Congress Subject headings. For this search to work, terms must be entered in exact order.
Example: united states history rather than history united states
If the search does not work, try a Keyword or Keyword Within Subject search where word order does not matter.
