BE SURE TO USE CAPS FOR AND OR NOT
AND - searches for books and articles containing both terms. Example: Kant AND "moral luck" will only return results with both Kant AND "moral luck"
OR - searches for one of the words. Example: Kant OR Mill will return materials about either Kant or Mill.
NOT - exclude a term. Example: "personal identity" NOT Locke will exclude materials related to Locke.
Parenthetical notes () - excellent for OR or NOT searches. Like a math equation, the database will do this part first.
Example: "Moral Luck" AND (Locke OR Mill) will return all articles about Locke and Moral Luck, or about Mill and Moral Luck.
Quotation Marks ""- Links words together in the search. Works best for phrases or proper names.
Example: "moral luck" will only return results with the full phrase "moral luck"
Asterisk * - Allows you to search several word endings at once, without using OR.
Example: Locke* will cover Locke, Locke's, Lockean. Caution: it will also return results for lockers, locked, and lockets
Warning: You may get unexpected results: Wom* also gives you wombat. philo* will give you philosophy, philosophers, philodendra, philology.
