Search tips
• Check “help”, “tips”, “examples”• What are the keywords for your subject?
– Are there any synonyms? – Are there any alternative spellings?– Which words are likely to be used in article titles /
abstracts? – If you get too many results – can you refine your
search?– If you get too few results – what are the broader
terms?
![Page 26: WISER Humanities: OxLIP+ Electronic resources What is Oxlip+ What does it cover? What does it do? What are its limitations? How to use Oxlip+ to find databases.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032803/56649e415503460f94b33ecb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Use Connectors / Boolean logic

Spain AND “Civil War” returns articles including both words
ConflictWar
War OR Conflict returns articles including one word or the other or both
Civil WarSpain
Civil War Not Spain returns articles including the phrase “Civil War” but only if the word Spain isn’t included
“ ”searches for an exact
phrase e.g.“United States” “Spanish Civil War”“War and Peace”
