Keywords - You can look up search terms by clicking on Keywords and selecting items that you want. Selecting more than one term will expand terms (OR) rather than combining them (AND). To combine or exclude terms, enter the first term in the first Keywords box, select the AND or NOT radio button and enter your second term in the second keyword box.
Keyword and/or researcher
You can combine keyword and/or researcher searches by entering your keyword in the first keyword box, choosing the appropriate button (AND, OR, NOT) in the last set of radio buttons and entering your researcher in the second researcher box.
Limiting searches
You can limit search results by date, type of research or funding using the purple box. Enter dates as years [YYYY] or months and years [MM YYYY].
Running searches
Use the Search button to display the number of hits or use Search/display results to show your results.
