Database Search Tip Use the Thesaurus to find subject headings related to your topic.  For example, entering the term "Action painting" in the Thesaurus search box brings up ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM  with the note that this term is used instead of either "Action  painting" or "New York School of Painting."  (Be sure that the correct database is selected before performing the Thesaurus search.)
Notes The Advanced Search displays by default, but you can switch to basic search and enter search terms in natural language or with "boolean operators" such as AND and OR.  (A boolean search for painting AND sculpture results in a list of records with both terms; painting OR sculpture results in a list of records with either term.)
