Searching Options
Relevance Search

There are several other ways of searching Expanded Academic ASAP. We have already discussed SUBJECT HEADING searching. It's actually called Subject Guide searching in Expanded Acadmic ASAP. If you like, you can review it now. When you finish reviewing, click on Relevance in the sidebar to return to this page.

The most important other search type is RELEVANCE SEARCH. This option allows you to search using KEYWORDS without connecting them by AND or OR. The system relies on a computer program to match your words to documents. It is similar to Basic Keyword searching in Voyager (Montgomery College's Online Catalog). 

To get to Relevance Search, you would choose it  from the blue search bar below.
