Search Tips
The search screen allows you to search across multiple fields of the database. Wildcards are already incorporated into the search fields and quotemarks and boolean operators will not work. The search is also case-insensitive. Any fields not required can be left empty.
Article Title/Headline
This box searches the headline and subtitle fields.
Author Surname
This field will allow you to search any part of the author's name.
Keywords
This field searches the descriptive notes.
Year
These boxes can used singly or in combination. To find a single year, enter it in both boxes. To find matches between two years, (e.g. 1939 and 1945), enter 1939 in the first box and 1945 in the second. To find all matches before a particular year, enter it in the second box, leaving the first blank. Do the reverse for matches after a specific year.
The drop-down menu fields are self-explanatory.
