Tips for Searching

Think of the best keywords to enter and be ready to change them as you pursue your topic. Try using a subject encyclopedia or dictionary for specialized terminology. Get ideas for new keywords by carefully examining the subject fields in your first results.

Try these search features:

  • Use quotes to search for phrases (example: "industrial revolution”)

  • Use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to broaden or narrow your search

  • Use truncation (example: archiv* will find archive, archives, archival, archivist)

  • Sort results by date or relevance

  • Browse subject headings

I have a citation for my book, what do I do next?

1. Identify the title of the book or anthology in the citation. The title is usually italicized.

2. Using the GIL-Find Catalog, search for the title of the book in the appropriate search box. Select "Title" from the dropdown menu and click FIND. 

If the title is available, it will appear in your list of results. Click on the blue, hyperlinked title to pull up the full record of the book. This information will help you find the book in the library. 

3. If you cannot find your book at Savannah State, conduct the same search as #2 using GIL-Find Universal Catalog. You can request materials from other USG schools through Gil-Express.
