Search Terms / Keywords
Searching Tips:
- When looking for a particular phrase, such as Middle Ages, surround the phrase with quotation marks (“Middle Ages”). This ensures that your results will include this entire phrase, rather than just “Middle” or “Ages.”
- You can narrow down your search even further by using the word “AND.” If I want to research knighthood during the Middle Ages, I can search “Middle Ages” AND “knighthood” to get more appropriate results.
- If looking for information on a particular region during the Middle Ages, use the search terms above and the name of the region (for example: “Middle Ages” AND “England”)
