When searching for more information on specific persons, we recommend that you consider these strategies:

• Phrase Searching: Add quotation marks around the person's name to have the database search for the name as a phrase
  • "Austen, Jane" OR "Jane Austen"
• Add the keyword biograph* to search for results that include biographical articles and biography

When searching in TigerSearch for Books or eBooks, enter your key words and then select All Filters. 

For Print Books, you can use the filter Print Books Only

For eBooks and Print Books, use the filter Books and Media (no articles)

Phrase Searching - Adding " " around a key concept made up of two or more words will tell the database to search for those words exactly as they are arranged, ensuring more relevant results.

Boolean Operators AND OR NOT - These are database symbols that tell the database how to search for your words
