Database Search Tip Author Search - You can search by an author's real name or any pseudonym.  If you know only the author's last name, select the "Start of Last Name" option.

Title Search - Type in the full or partial title.  If you know the exact full title, select "Match words exactly as entered" option.  If you know a few key words from the title, use the "Match all words entered" option.

A Custom Search is also possible.  Check the help link for assistance.

Notes

Finding the list of citations is easy, but the search becomes more challenging when you have to find the actual publication.  Some are available full text in other databases, some are publications within the library, and some are not owned.  Ask for help at the REFERENCE DESK or call x54699.
