Library Catalog Search Tips

Type   AND   between your search terms:

Chinese AND art
Chinese AND pottery
Chinese AND porcelain
Chinese AND ceramics

Cave paintings
Ancient Egypt AND art

Note: When searching in the library catalog, you will likely need to type in words that are more general than your actual topic.  For example, instead of harappan dancing girl, you could try   indus    or     indus civilization    or    india AND art
This is because the library catalog mainly looks for your words in the title and subject headings assigned to a book; it does not look for your words inside of the book.
