Searching for Resources

In our library catalogue, search by a topic (for example: Daoism and the church). Find a relevant book in your results list, and then look for accurate subject headings in the Description section of the Details screen. Once you know the subject headings for your topic, do a subject (su:) search. Use the filters on the left side of the catalogue screen to limit your results to ebooks, print books, publication year, etc. For more help on searching, go to our library website.

  • AND finds results with BOTH terms
  • OR finds results with EITHER term
  • christ* finds Christ, Christians, Christianity        

    

Go to EBSCOhost services and select EBSCOhost Web.  Then choose your database(s) and create a search. You may limit your results  by using the filters on the left-hand side of the screen. For example, recently published (in the past 5 years),  and full text articles in peer reviewed journals.  For more help with EBSCOhost databases, go to the library website and look under the Databases tab.

The truncation symbol (*) finds results with any ending. In the example below, Sikh* will pull up results with Sikhs, Sikhism etc.

 

Go to JSTOR and try the following search after selecting Advanced Search.  For additional help with JSTOR, on the library website. If you enter an exact phrase, be sure to place quotations marks around it for best results.
