DOING A SIMPLE SEARCH
Search for the author by entering the author’s surname in the search box
e.g. Dwarika-Bhagat
DOING A SPECIFIC SEARCH
Refine your search by using quotation marks with the author’s full name in the order in which it might be cited
e.g. "Dwarika-Bhagat, Niala” or “Dwarika-Bhagat, N”
* TIP 1: for best results enter the author’s name in the various ways that they may be cited
* TIP 2: When any part of the name is both a Proper and common noun, e.g. “steel” use the "author:" operator. This operator only affects the search term that immediately follows it, and there must be no space between "author:" and your search term.
