Helpful tips on how to search more effectively in EAGLEsearch.
Place quotation marks around two or more words that should be searched as an exact phrase. For example, "human factors".
EAGLEsearch allows for Boolean search operators such as AND and OR; however, the operators must be written in ALL CAPS.
Put "AND" between your search terms to ensure that each term is present somewhere in your search results. For example, pilot AND fatigue.
Put "OR" between your search terms to ensure that your search results contain either search term. For example, aircraft OR airplane.
Parentheses "()" can be used to order and combine search concepts. For example, "human factors" AND (aircraft OR airplane).
Place a * (asterisk) at the end of a root word to search for variant word endings. For example, comput* will find compute, computer, computers, computes, computing, etc.

Example
Full Text Online will link to the electronic version of that book (eBook), in one of our research databases or on the publisher's website. In some cases, it may link to a record of that item in our library catalog which should provide a full text link to it.
Citation Online only provides the citation for that book or eBook and not the full text; however, that does not mean we do not have access to the full text elsewhere. Please contact Ask a Librarian for assistance in trying to obtain it.
Check Availability is for books from our print collection that have been given a call number (i.e. TL685.35.T47 2016) location and that are located in the Hunt Library. Selecting the link will take you to the record of that item in the library catalog and provide more information about it.
