Database Searching Tips

Tip:  If you are getting too many results from a search

  • Try putting quotation marks around the title, for example:

"Into the Wild" instead of Into the Wild.

  • Try adding the author's last name to the search, for example:

"Into the Wild" AND Krakauer

Tip:  If you are getting too few results from a search

  • Try searching only part of the title, for example:

If the exact book title is Immigration Phobia and the Security Dilemma: Russia, Europe, and
the United States, then try searching for just the main title Immigration Phobia and the Security Dilemma

  • Try leaving out punctuation - especially semicolons, periods, and commas, for example

Instead of Immigration Phobia and the Security Dilemma: Russia, Europe, and
the United States try Immigration Phobia and the Security Dilemma Russia Europe and the United States
