Type in a keyword or a phrase using quotation marks, e.g. 'religion' or "academic writing" to find both print and electronic resources in the Library. The keyword search is very general - and you will get a large number of results. So for 'religion' you could get over 300,000 results.
The phrase search, i.e."academic writing" is a more focused search and it will bring up only those sources that contain the phrase "academic writing" making them more relevant. To you leave out the quotation marks, you will get too many results. For example,
academic writing brings up 8,000 + results; and
"academic writing" brings 700+ results
The second set of results are more relevant as they are about academic writing. The first set of results may be about academic ... and also about writing.... So the search results could bring up information about 'letter writing', 'creative writing' and also 'academic writing' but you will need to shift through a long list before you are able to find appropriate resources to match your query.
