Getting Started With Library Search

The goal of this guide is to have each tutorial in different formats, such as slideshows and videos. It is a work in progress so if you bookmark this guide you should link to the main page.

Additional Search Tips

"   " Quotation Marks
Search for the exact phrase with quotation marks
example: "Blue and Gold Day"
OR Boolean
Include search terms with OR; exclude search terms with AND and NOT. (Use all caps for OR, AND, NOT). 
example: UNK or "University of Nebraska Kearney"
* Wildcards
Find all forms of a word with wildcards. ? matches a single character and * matches multiple characters. 
(Note: phrase searches cannot include wildcards, and you cannot used a wildcard at the beginning of a word).
example: antelop?
gene* therapy
(   ) Parentheses
Group related terms with parenthesis.
example: success and (education or employment)
