HPS100 History and Philosophy of Science

Sample search formulas:

In LibrarySearch (searching several indexes of articles) you can't be as precise as to where you search but it's a good place to start your search.

When searching for articles in LibrarySearch try searching for your terms (key concepts) in the title (this is not a comprehensive search, but should retrieve many relevant articles and not be as overwhelming or as unfocused as searching in "Any field"/any part of the description, journal title etc.).

You can be more focused with your search formula and get more "on target" results when searching in a specific collection,
via a subject-specific database (as shown below, with the example of searching in Philosopher's Index)
