1. Put quotes ("") around multiple words to search as a phrase rather than individual words. Good for finding exact quotations.
Example: ["In one of its panels a very singular figure riveted my whole attention."]
2. Use a star (*) for wildcard searching, which finds multiple endings of a single word.
Example: [paint*] finds paint, paints, painter, painting, etc.
3. Use minus sign (-) to eliminate word or term from search.
Example: [jaguar speed -car] finds information on the animal
4. Add the term "site:" to limit searching to a single website or domain.
Example 1 : [futurism site:metmuseum.org] searches only the Met's website
Example 2: [futurism site:.edu] searches only university websites

If the full-text of an article is available via open-access or through Citrus College, a link will be made available. If there is no link, then only the bibliography is available, and you will want to search the library catalog or Interlibrary Loan if you want to pursue the item.
