Notes:

Basic Search:

When you first go to World Book Online, you see a search box with three options under it: Keywords, Full Text, and Images. These are options by which you can narrow your search.

Advanced Search:

There is also an Advanced Search. It has many options like picking a specific date, articles, etc. For example you could pick from Sound and Pictures which have the options of videos, animation, and maps or browse reports and guides by the title.

Other Search Options

There is also a Boolean Search in the Advanced Search option. Boolean Search is when you combine words together using the words and, or, not to make your search more specific.
