Search Tips

  • Place quotation marks around phrases (e.g.,"nature poetry").
  • Capitalize Boolean connectors (AND, OR) (e.g., memoir OR autobiography).
  • Type ti= if you know the exact title (ti=h is for hawk).
  • Type au:, su:, or ti: before your keywords to specify author, subject or title words (e.g., au:helen macdonald).
