Advanced Search Tips

The Ventura College Library has a vast selection of literature, literary criticism and biographies in the circulating book collection.

The Reference collection contains encyclopedias, bibliographies, biographical sources, plot summaries, and various non-circulating recourses that offer specific information, definitions, shorter explanations, historical and biographical sketches.

  • Brainstorm 2-4 key terms that sum up your topic to use as your search terms
  • Use quotes around names or phrases... "Albert Einstein" or "Oil Pipelines"
  • Use AND to search for multiple concepts together... "endangered species" AND protection
  • Use OR to search for alternate or related terms... "global warming" OR "climate change"
  • Use the "Subjects" links found in each book record to find related books 
  • Ask a Librarian for assistance!
