TIPS

• Place keywords in quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.
  Example: "south carolina"
• Boolean operators (use capital letters):
  • AND - all terms must be found; narrows a search
    Example: television and violence
  • OR - any of the terms may be found; expands a search
    Example: "mass media" or television
  • NOT - excludes the terms
    Example: mexico and not "new mexico"
• Use an asterisk (*) to search for different variations or spellings of a word.
  Example: teen* - teen, teens, teenage, teenager, teenagers, etc.
