How to Search

“Search literature” will search the entire citation (title, author, year, abstract, journal name etc). Please specify if your search is an “AND” or “OR” or just a simple text string search. You can use as many terms as you wish for the “AND” and “OR” searches. No punctuation is necessary.

  • For example, you type: Hornby Island Kelp
  • For an “AND” search this will provide any literature than has each of the terms Hornby, Island and Kelp within the citation.
  • For an “OR” search this will provide any literature that has the term Hornby or Island or Kelp within the citation.
  • For a string search this will provide any literature that has the full text string “Hornby Island Kelp” within the citation
