Keyword Search Term 

Using a library online catalog to search for resources is very different than an online search engine, such as Google or Bing.  Here are some tips on developing keyword search terms:

  • Keep search terms to 1 to 3 words 
    • Example:  You need to research architecture styles during the Ottoman Empire era
      • Type the following into the keyword search term boxes:
        • arches AND Ottoman Empire
