Discovery Search - Advanced Search

To create an Advanced Search:

1. Click the Advanced Search link above the search box on the Basic search screen.  Alternatively, click the Advanced Search link below the search bar on the Library Main Page.

    Advanced Search is not the default search screen for Discovery Search at James White Library. It is available when you click on Advanced Search button.
   
   
   
   
   
   Note: Any limiters selected on the Basic Search screen will be applied to searches conducted with Advanced Search.

2. Enter your search terms in the first search box on the Advanced Search screen.
   
   
    

3. Choose a citation search field from the All fields drop-down list (for example, search in only the Title field of the citation).
   
   
    

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second set of search boxes.

5. Click the Boolean operator drop-down menu to combine the search box entries with AND, OR, NOT. (Default is AND)
   
   
    

6. You can select another Boolean operator, keyword, and search field in the third search box set.

7. Click the Add fields link below the search boxes if you would like to add more lines of search to your advanced search.

8. Under Filters, apply any desired limiters to your search. For example, you may want to limit results to items with full text available online and published within a custom date range you select.

   To add a Custom date range, select Custom range and click the fields to select start and end dates from the date picker.

   Other available Filters may include Author, Title, Publication, Location, etc.  

   Note: Any limiters that were selected on the Basic Search screen before accessing Advanced Search are applied to searches conducted with Advanced Search.
