Search Tips
Search Tips
With a database like JSTOR, you can utilize parentheses or quotation marks to make sure a specific term is limiting in the database. For example, if you search a topic such as "Creation AND Responsibility" along with the title of the book, adding quotations around "Creation AND Responsibility" tells the database that those words cannot be separated.
Utilizing the advanced search options will expand your search.
