“ ” Group keywords with quotation marks to search as an exact phrase.  
Example: “the night watchman” 

* Use the asterisk if you want to search multiple iterations of a keyword.  
Example: sculpt* = sculpture, sculptors, sculpted 

& Use AND to combine several keywords or phrases.  
Example: "Ai Wei Wei" AND installation

+ Use OR to search for information about one term, and also articles about another term.  
Example: sustainable OR eco-friendly

- Use NOT to search for information about one term, while excluding another term
Example: Michaelangelo NOT turtle

• Subject links limit results to a specific topic or discipline
