This document provides instructions for using advanced search features to narrow down results from an initial broad keyword search. It advises the user to enter a keyword phrase, then limit results by selecting a subject heading, date, and publication type to refine the search. Once the search is narrowed down, the user can skim article titles and choose one to view, taking note of its subject terms to potentially refine their search topic further.
