- when you need to search for WORDS in a specific field (i.e. TITLE, SUBJECT, AUTHOR)
- when you have a TOPIC, but not a specific SUBJECT HEADING
- when you have WORDS from a TITLE
- when you have two or more AUTHOR’s LAST NAMES
- when you have an incomplete citation and know only the AUTHOR’s LAST NAME and a couple of WORDS from a TITLE
When should you use the Browse Search?
