  13. ARTstor Tips for Searching Articles You do not need to use articles (a, the, le, la, etc.) before titles or other terms. When searching for "The Judgment of Paris", you may simply enter: judgment of paris

  14. ARTstor Tips for Searching Exact phrase To search for an exact phrase, put the phrase in quotes ("..."). When searching for manuscripts showing “Romance of Alexandre" enter “romance of alexandre“
