subdivision marks.
- Use two hyphens (--) to separate a subdivision from a subject heading.
- Truncation on the right is assumed in a subject heading search.
- If you aren't sure of spelling and a search results in no matches:
- Try shortening the subject heading
- Try searching by author, title, or keyword.
