Now that we've covered some basics, let's look at the Galileo Advanced Search!

You can find it tucked under the search bar on the Galileo home page and the library home page, or under the search box while you are looking at a list of results. 

Galileo's Advanced Search takes the power of Boolean Operators and does the hard work for you. It gives you a drop-down to choose which operator to use between your keywords, simplifying what you need to type in the search boxes.

You can also use the "select a field" dropdown to get even more specific, by searching specifically by author, subject, or even journal title!

And look what you see!  The ability to use those BOOLEAN OPERATORS we just talked about! This is a fantastic way to really narrow your search.
