The advanced search is the most powerful way to search for references. First you have to choose one or more fields to search on. The search allows you to choose as many or as few fields as you would like to search on. The more fields you provide and the more information you provide the better the chance of getting a good match and finding the reference you want.

To access the advanced search features simply press the "Advanced Search" button at the bottom of the page. It will aquire a depressed look to indicate that you are now doing an advanced search.

Choosing an Alternate Type of Search

We then enter out search criteria. Here we have entered "Oxygen". The final step is to press the "Perform Search..." button to actually get the results.
