  2. If you want to further specify your search results, you can also select the category (article, book chapter, etc.) and type of resource (academic or community).
  3. Search up the term you are looking for in the search bar. Your results will be filtered based on the tags, category, and type you've selected.
  4. You can also check and uncheck different types of information you want to see in the table such as Press, Disciple, Editors, etc.
  5. Additionally, Boolean Search functionalities are also available incuding AND, OR, NOT, Parentheses (), Quotation Marks "", Question Mark "?" and Asterisk "*". You can read more about these operators here.
