See Successful Search Techniques.

There is an Easy Search Option but we recommend selecting the Advanced Search option.

Advanced Search: From the Advanced Search screen select the type of search you wish to conduct from the drop-down box.

Truncation: use * at the end of a word, e.g., feed* will find feeds , feeding, feedstuff, etc.
Spelling variants: the search is automatically set up to recognise spelling variants of American and British versions of words, for example, a search for behaviour will automatically find both behaviour and behavior
Combining searches:  searches can be combined from the Advanced Search screen.  Alternatively select the Search History option and type in previous searches set numbers e.g., (#3 and #2)

Click on the Find@Stir button , which provides links to the full text of the journal if available, or to the library catalogue, to check if we have the item in paper format.
