Search tips:
- While finding books (print and eBooks), try to search in a more broad sense and then search within the book to find more specific information. For instance, you may not find multiple books with Agent Orange in their title; instead you may find a comprehensive book on the Vietnam War (Conflict) that has a great section on Agent Orange.
- While finding articles, try to search in a very specific sense. You are more likely to be successful using a keyword that is the main topic and combining it with a subtopic to find specific information from articles.
- Using quotation marks when searching for specific phrases may yield more accurate results. For example, "Agent Orange" versus Agent Orange or "Vietnam War" versus Vietnam War.
