Setting Limits

To set limits other than date, click on a desired characteristic from each menu to select it. To select multiple items (in an either-or relationship) from the same menu hold down the [Ctrl] key (command key on a Mac) while clicking. To limit by date, enter a year into the Date box. Click in the radio dial preceding the relationship desired. If selecting a date range, also enter a year in the Range box.

A single year:	Click in the dial to the left of the equal sign (=). In this example, only items published in 1994 will be retrieved.
After a certain year:	Click in the dial to the left of the greater than sign (>). In this example, only items published after, but not during, 1994 are retrieved.
Before a certain year:	Click in the dial to the left of the less than sign (<). In this example, only items published before, but not during, 1994, are retrieved.
A range of years:	Click in the dial to the left of the word "Range" and type in a year to complete the range. In this example, only items published between 1994 and 1998 are retrieved, including items published in 1994 or 1998.

Click on to enter the selected limits and return to the search screen.
