Search Tips
    • If you are familiar with the GSS study we recommend that you use the Advance Search utility to locate the documents you are looking for otherwise use the Basic Search.
    • The Advance search will help you locate the document(s) quickly if you happen to know the exact title of the document, the full name of the author, or the publisher name. Partial information of these attributes can also be used in combination keeping in mine that the Advance search works using the “And” logic in its search.
    • The Basic search engine is designed to locate all documents that contain any part on the entered search criteria. The Basic search engine is based on Boolean “Or” logic.

 

Basic Search

The best way to begin is to come up with a search strategy. What kind of information are you looking for? Are you just beginning your research and want to find very general information? Are you looking for more granular information? Do you already have something very specific in mind that you want to find?
