Performing a Basic Search

Here's how to perform a Basic Search:

If you're not already at the Basic Search page, click Basic Search from the search path bar
Enter one or more words in the Find box
Select a search option by clicking one of the radio buttons below the Find box: Document title, Keyword or Entire document
Click the Search button

Alternatively, from the Basic Search page you may choose to browse a specific eBook publication in its entirety.

Note: If you are new to using this database collection, check out the Welcome page.

You may use logical (Boolean) operators, proximity operators and wildcard characters in a Basic Search. Note that entering two or more search terms without any logical operators between terms is the same as using the N4 proximity operator. So that a search on cats dogs is the same as entering cats N4 dogs. See "General Search Tips" for more examples.

If your search is successful, you will see a results list page with citations matching your search criteria.

If no results can be found, you will see a message asking you to revise your search.
