Begin Research: Self-Check

Self Check

1) When searching by author, how should you enter the author's name?



2) Searching within a specific field, like a Title field, will usually yield fewer results than a keyword search.



3) When would you want to search by a specific field?





4) If you wanted to find a book about Albert Einstein, which field would you search using his name?
