As you search for books, it may help to think "inside the box" by being very specific (names or places) and "outside the box" by being more general (topics/issues). "Inside the box" searching allows you to find detailed materials, while "outside the box" thinking keeps you from missing high quality sources that do not have a much detail in their search records.
Since you are only keyword searching, make a list of possible search terms before you start. For example, "influenza" may bring back different results than "Spanish flu." "Influenza outbreak" will bring back different results than "influenza epidemic."
If you are struggling to find books at Molstead Library using the Primo search box, try searching for books through more familiar sites, such as Amazon.com or WorldCat.org. You can InterLibrary Loan books from other libraries for free!
