Try these Power Search tips on this or any other media catalog, search engines, and resource databases.

Separate a string of keywords with AND (to narrow the search), OR (to broaden the search,) or NOT (to exclude likely but unnecessary terms).

Ask your Library Media Specialist how to truncate terms and add proximity searching to your strategy. Some databases will allow you to define your search in many ways. Just inquire!
