Search Tips

Too few results?

Use fewer search terms, or swap words out with synonyms.

Borrow the subject terms that come up in the sidebar

Truncate keywords to get all variations of the word (E.g. "censor*" searches for censor, censored, censorship, and censors).

Too many results?

Use words and terms that are more precise

E.g. "basketball" instead of "sports"

Add an additional keyword

Enclose exact phrases in double quotation marks (e.g., "world health organization")

Refine your search using facets like publication type, date range, or subject headings
