How to Search

Most online catalogs and collections work on the same premise as Google search. You simply enter a single keyword like "Hinduism" or "Dance" and get a range of results. This range can sometimes be overwhelming to sort through. To narrow down your search, consider using the following search tips:

 

  • You can achieve more accurate results with multiple keywords: 
    • AND - results will contain both keywords, e.g orientalism AND India
    • OR - results will contain one or more of the keywords, e.g. orientalism OR India
    • NOT - results won't contain the keyword, e.g. orientalism NOT India
