Search Tips

Select the most important 2-3 terms related to your topic:

  • Put the word AND between each new term; this tells the database to look for resources with ALL your terms.

arthritis AND horses

  • Use quotation marks ( "  " ) around phrases (two or more words); this tells the database to look for the words in that specific order.
