Database search tips:
Use concrete and neutral words.
Never type more than one or two words in a search box. Go to the Advanced Search page to separate keywords into multiple boxes.
If you are not finding what you need, try to change or add keywords.
Use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) and truncation (*) to expand and narrow results.
Use filters/limiters on the left-hand or right-hand side of the screen to refine results.
Choose a field from the drop-down menu next to the search box to narrow results.
Ask for help!
