It is best to fill in as few criteria as possible to reasonably narrow down the results. For instance, even if you know the title, author, publisher and subject, you should start your search by entering only the author's last name and perhaps a key word or two from the title. Keep in mind that you can use your Web browser to save the results of a broad search on your own computer as a text file, which can then be later opened in a word processor for further searching. Also, many browsers have a FIND feature that allows you to find a word in the file you are currently viewing.
Search criteria are case insensitive.
Searches will terminate after the first 250 matches. Author entries generally have the form Last, First where First is usually an initial. It is best to start by searching for only the last name, however. Thus, for example, to search for the author Steven Roman, try searching for Roman . The Whole Word Match will match any entry for which the contents of the author text box is a substring surrounded by spaces or punctuation marks.
