OneSearch: Step One For Library Research

Advanced Search allows you more opportunities to specify your search results.

Advanced search allows you to:

• Add additional search lines for additional keywords 
• Specify material type (journals, books, articles, etc)
• Specify the language of the search results
• Specify a date range in order to yield current or historical items

• Add quotation marks around search terms to specify that you are searching a specific group of words together. "Georgia O'Keefe" would tell the search, "I want the search results to include first and last name together as one phrase" 
• Use the word "AND" between two search terms in order to include both words. Sample search string: "Georgia O'Keefe" AND painting would make sure each search result would include both terms: "Georgia O'Keefe" AND the word painting. 
• Use the word "OR" between two search terms to specify that either term would be acceptable. Sample search string: painting OR drawing would mean results would include either (or both) terms.
• Use the word "NOT" between two search terms to specify that you do not want a word to appear anywhere in your search. Sample search string: painting NOT drawing would mean your search results will not mention the word "drawing".
