If you're having trouble finding results in the Library Catalog, try changing the field in the search bar.

For example, a keyword search will usually bring up a lot more results than a subject search. 
 

Boolean operators are words that can make your search wider or narrower.

• AND will narrow your search by only returning results that include both terms (ex. architecture AND health)
• OR will widen your search by returning results for either term (ex. architecture OR buildings)
• NOT will narrow your search by eliminating results that include that term (ex. architecture NOT American)

• If you only want results that include the entire phrase you are searching for, try putting the phrase in quotes (ex. "architectural theory")
• If you're not sure how a word is spelled or you want to find results that include multiple versions of a word, use an asterisk to replace those letter(s) (ex. architect* to return results for architect, architects, and architecture)
