Advanced Search in Literature Resources from Gale

Here's how to perform an Advanced Search:

If you're not already at the Advanced Search page, click Advanced Search from the search path bar
Select an index from the drop-down menu (some indexes may be browsed)
Enter your search term(s)
Optionally select a logical operator (AND, OR, NOT), select an index, and enter additional search term(s) -- you may add as many rows as needed by clicking Add a Row
Optionally enter search limits -- the most commonly used limits are displayed but if you would like to limit your search in other ways, click Show Search Options
Click the Search button

The index and logical operator selections that you see are only suggestions. Use the drop-down lists if you want to make your own selections. To search on multiple indexes, select a logical operator at the far left to connect each index you're searching. The AND operator is used by default, unless you select OR or NOT. To search more than three indexes, click the Add a Row link.

Selecting certain indexes will cause a Browse link to appear allowing you to select from a list of entries that appear in a separate browser window.

Tip #7 on the "Tips for Searching in this Collection" page shows an example of searching an index, using the AND operator, and selecting a publication title from a browse field.

If you're unsure of a spelling or want to search for variations, use wildcards in your search expression.

Clicking the Clear button will remove any search information you entered and reset the form to its original state.

If your search is successful, you will see a results list page with items matching your search criteria. If no results can be found, you will get a message asking you to revise your search.
