Doctor of Ministry Project Papers

Using the Advanced Search, this example demonstrates a search for D.Min. project papers about the bible and children that do not include teenagers.

• The terms bible, children, and teenagers are entered into the search boxes.
• The Keyword index is selected for each term.
• To ensure that only D.Min. project papers are in the results, the terms ("d.min.") and ("wesley theological seminary") are entered in the search boxes to be searched as keyword phrases.
• The Boolean operator AND joins the terms bible, children, ("d.min."), and ("wesley theological seminary"). The Boolean operator NOT is applied to exclude teenagers from the results.

The system returned one result based upon the search criteria and highlighted the relevant terms in the item record. 

Expanded Search

When WorldCat Discovery finds terms related to your search terms, it will ask you if you want to expand your search.

In this case, the system expanded the original search by including the related term child.
