Example #3: I’d like to find book reviews of Leif Enger’s book Peace Like a River

Using basic search, enter author name and book title, using ‘and’ between them.

To reduce the number of articles (you will otherwise get articles about the author, notices of book groups meeting and readings,) add ‘and review*’ to your search. The * next to the word review tells the database to look for review, reviews, reviewing, reviewed – all words with ‘review’ at the beginning.

The results include book reviews. The only one that is not the complete review as it appeared in the paper is #4 from the San Francisco Chronicle – that is only a citation (no "Full text" link).
