4. Click the Search button at the top (or bottom) of the page.
5. Click the Subject box to select a search of subject words and click the Words Anywhere box to deselect a search of all words anywhere in any record. (If you find very few or no records by searching subject words, you can revise your search by selecting Words Anywhere for a subsequent search.)
6. Click in the
search box and type in search term(s) for your first concept and then
