"Everything" Search - the search box on Gutman Library's home page
When you need to research color dyeing and finishing, an excellent first step is to check our catalog. Searching "Everything" means searching for any source type (articles, books, ebooks, videos, conference proceedings, and more) across many of our 220+ subscription databases at once. You cannot ask our catalog a question, so brainstorm for keywords first (see the concept map on this guide's "Form Your Topic" page) then consider trying a Boolean logic search with AND, OR, or NOT.
| Boolean Operator | Search Example | How does it work? |
| AND | textile AND "surface treatment" |
AND narrows a search by retrieving sources with all your terms Putting terms in quotation marks retrieves sources with those keywords next to each other |
| OR | dye* OR pigment |
OR broadens a search by finding sources with either term The * is a truncation symbol for one or more characters. Dye* will find the keywords dye, dyes, dyed, and dyeing. |
| NOT | cotton NOT gr?y |
NOT narrows a search by excluding sources with an unwanted term A ? is the wildcard symbol for a single character. |
