Discussion will include navigating the site, limitations of using AI, searching tips including keywords, wildcards, exact searches, filters, Boolean terms, and variant spellings. Specific examples of searches using exact filters with locations, and keywords searches will be shown. Examples will also show how to find the record origin needed to cite the record from the image in the Full-Text Search screen.
