The Advanced Search page is a great place to start because:
Using the following "smart searching" techniques will greatly facilitate your searching:
• Narrow the search by using AND
Example: autism and early intervention
Result: By using AND, you are telling the database to only show results that contain both "Autism" and "Early Intervention"
• Broaden the search by using OR
Example: autism and early intervention or preschool
Result: By using OR, you are telling the database to show results that use the term "early intervention" or the term "preschool"
• Broaden the search by using an asterisk to search for different word endings
Example: teach*
Result: This search will find any word beginning with "teach" including teacher, teachers, teaching.
