Efficient Search Strategies for the University of Amsterdam Library Catalogue

Enhance your research skills using the University of Amsterdam Library Catalogue with effective search techniques. Learn how to combine searches using AND, OR, and NOT to refine your results. Use AND to narrow your search by including multiple criteria, OR to broaden your search and capture a wider array of information, and NOT to exclude non-relevant titles. For example, combine terms like "labor" and "industry," and further refine by incorporating "immigration," all while excluding European-focused titles. Master these strategies to optimize your research outcomes.
