Keyword Searching

Don't confuse keyword searching with subject searching. Subject searching only allows you to search the subject field ... your search must match the subject terms in those fields exactly.

Keyword searching allows you to search all of the fields of a record at the same time.

Sample Fields for a Keyword Search: Author, Title, Year, Subject Headings, Abstract or summary of contents

Also, keyword searching allows you to combine more than one topic in a search, for example, "tobacco and advertising."
