Quick Search and Advanced Search

Quick Search

• If you want to find articles on a given subject...
  If you are looking for articles/chapters on a given subject area, use Quick Search and search against All Content to bring back the most results from the whole of our website. You can refine your quick search to limit your search results with Journals, Books, Bibliographic Databases or Site Pages.

Advanced Search

• If you want to be restrictive in your searching...
  You can use Advanced Search to refine and limit your results. For example, if you know the name of an author of an article/chapter, but are not sure of the exact article/chapter title, you could enter the authors name in the "Author(s)" field and a couple of words from the title in the "Content item title" field. This should locate the article/chapter for you.
