Search Tips
You may search the Library to find reference materials for a specific set of words and other criteria.
Basic search
For a basic search, type a word or words into the Search text box, and then click Search. The default "all words" in the pulldown window will automatically "and" 2 or more words. This means that each word entered will appear in the selected records in the results set.
The other options in the pulldown include:Phrase: This will search for words adjacent to one another in exact order. No need to use quotes.
Title only: This will search for the chosen word or words in titles of records. This search will automatically "and" 2 or more words.
Use Boolean Operators (AND/NOT): You may opt to use these operators.
