Basic Search Tips for Most Databases & Library Catalog

Find more (broaden your results) with OR and wildcards:
     tax exempt or tax free   (finds either term)
     business* or firm*   (finds business, businesses, firm or firms)   

Find less (narrow your results) with AND:
     company and merger   (finds both terms)

Find less with NOT:
     fraud not embezzlement  (excludes records that mention embezzlement)

Find less by selecting limiters (peer-reviewed, date, publication type, etc.)
Use quotation marks for an "exact phrase"

For OneSearch:

• natural language works well
• CAPS are required for AND and OR
• use parentheses to nest terms when using both AND and OR
• select filters (limiters) on results screen

Sample searches for OneSearch:

     how body image affects women
     "body image" AND women
     "body image" AND (women OR girls)
     (prejudic* OR discriminat*) AND (islam* OR muslim*)
