West Vancouver Memorial Library · The Inquiring Mind Tips for Successful Searching Think carefully about your keywords - imagine what words the author of an article would use to describe the topic you're looking for. If your first search doesn't work, try adding or dropping one or more keywords. If it still doesn't work, try some different keywords. If you're looking for an exact phrase, like Victorian Order of Nurses, put all of your search terms inside quotation marks, like this: "Victorian Order of Nurses". If you want a database to give you results containing all of your keywords, use the word AND to connect them, like this: Capilano AND district AND "city council". If you're not finding the information you need, look for a link that says "Help" or "Search Tips" or something similar. Information behind these links will help you to do a more successful search. And don't forget that library staff members are here to help. We welcome your questions in person, by telephone, or by e-mail.
