Search Tips
Search Tips:
- Select the fewest words possible to type into the search box -- just the ones most important to your topic.
- Type AND between each new word or idea. For example:
voting rights AND gerrymandering
voting rights AND women
-
Use quotation marks ( " " ) around phrases.
"jim crow" AND voting - Identify and use synonyms and related terms in your search - not all authors will use the same words to identify the same ideas.
