Search Hints & Examples

  • Type a word, phrase, or search expression in one or more of the boxes.
    eg. fund raising retrieves that phrase.

  • Within a search box use & for AND, / for OR, and ! for NOT:
    e.g. volunteers & youth retrieves items with BOTH terms (limits search)
    e.g. volunteers / youth retrieves items with EITHER term (broadens search)
    e.g. volunteers ! youth retrieves items with volunteers but NOT youth (greater precision)

  • Use a * to truncate.
    e.g. volunteer* retrieves volunteers, volunteering, volunteerism, etc.

  • Use : > < >= <= for date searching
    e.g. > 2000 retrieves everything published after 2000 (greater than 2000)
    e.g. >=2000 retrieves everything published since 2000 (greater than or equals 2000)
