  1. Start from the Search Everything box on the library homepage.
  1. Enter your keyword(s) into the search box. The example search statement in the image below will find sources on wound care prevention in nursing. Example: "wound care" AND prevention AND nurse. The capital ANDs link the keywords, which means the search system will look for wound care, prevention, and nursing. Placing quotation marks around wound care will tell the search system to look for the phrase instead of the individual words.
