- Use AND, OR, NOT, and ( ) to narrow or broaden your search:
- "capital punishment" and minorities [narrows search to records having both terms]
- "political ethics" or "misconduct in office" [broadens search to records having either term]
- hunting not license [narrows search to records having the first term but not the second]
- ("folk music" or gospel) and dance [retrieves records with either of the parenthetical terms and the term outside the parentheses]
- Use * to truncate and search varying forms of a word:
- transport* (will search transport, transporting, transportation, etc.)
- If you enter terms into more than one box, the search will retrieve records matching both search terms.
- To search a date range, use "to" between the beginning and ending dates.
