Yippee! You Have Finished the Relevance Module!

If I don't find what I'm looking for, what can I do?

Before you give up, you may want to:

• Check the spelling of your search terms
• Omit all punctuation
• Use the plus sign (+) to denote an essential term
• Remember you CANNOT use and, or, or not to connect words or terms
• Broaden the search by truncating one or more of the words
• Broaden the search by removing or changing limits
• Check to make sure there are beginning and ending quotes for phrases
• (Current faculty, staff and students only) Try UB or ILL
• Ask a Reference Librarian for help

Other modules that may be of interest:

• To learn how to export your results, try the Print/Save/Email Options module
• To learn how to revise or repeat previous searches, go to the Search History module
• To learn how to limit your search by date, type of media, language, or location, go to the Limits module.
