HIST 221: North Carolina History (Thuesen)

Catalog Searching Tips

Try putting phrases in quotation marks. For example, instead of searching for Fidel Castro, try "Fidel Castro". This one change can make a big difference!

Boolean operators like AND and OR can greatly narrow down or expand your search terms. A search for "Fidel Castro" AND socialism yields 5,600 results, while "Fidel Castro" OR socialism yields more than 21,000,000!
