Question

My search has retrieved too many results. How can I simplify it?

Answer

Narrow your search by connecting your search terms with 'AND' instead of 'OR'.
Add additional search terms.
Use more specific search terms.
Try searching for words in the keyword field, rather than in just the title or subject fields.
Limit your search to retrieve books or periodicals only.
