Search Tips. To make your search as precise as possible, please use the following search tips to locate exact item(s) of interest:

Regular search is done by entering one (or more) search words into various fields. For Example:



This search will produce a list of items, which includes all of the words entered (Shakespeare, Twelfth and Night) in any order.

Phrase Search: Placing quotation marks "" around any word combinations will search for an exact phrase. For Example:



This search will produce a list of items, which only includes "Shakespeare" and "Twelfth Night", where "Twelfth Night" appears only as a phrase.

Wildcard Search: Asterisk and Question Mark can be used to replace part(s) of any search word(s) and single letter in any search word respectively. This is especially useful where results may contain similar words having different endings or when exact spelling is not known. Please Note: Using wildcards and exclusion features may increase the amount of time it takes for your search to be completed. For Example:



This search will produce results which will include all items containing "Philosophy", "Philosophical" and "Philosopher", as well as "Greece" and "Greek".



This search will produce all items containing "bribe" and "bride".

Excluding Search Words: Placing hyphen immediately in front of a word or phrase will exclude any item containing this word/phrase from search results. For Example:



This search will result in items that contain "Eliot" but not "George". All items containing "George" will be excluded. Please Note: Exclusion feature can only be used stating with the second word of the search query. It cannot be used with the first search term. Thus, example above would not have worked in search query was entered as "-George Eliot"
