Use of "AND" and "OR": Use of "AND" combines two important concepts. Using "OR" brings up items containing either of the search terms.
Note: If you put more than 1 word in the search box, the library catalog assumes the "AND" and will look for items that include all your terms. In our catalog, operators must be capitalized.
Examples:
1. To find fewer: narrow the search with “AND” 2. To find more: broaden the search with “OR”
Example keyword searches:
“Modern AND dance*”
“Martha Graham OR modern danc**”.
You'll often find different search results for dance by continent and dance by country, so try different searches to find a variety of materials.
