Database searches for slides can range from simple to complex.
Simple searches yield the greatest responses, complex searches usually yield the most precise results. The following instructions will lead you through several different techniques to use when searching for slides. In keyword searches for artists, architects, or other creators, use only the last name and a word or two from the title of the work. The more words and phrases you use, the greater the risk for eliminating relevant items from your results. Use correct spelling.
