AFYR 101 Complex Problems

The Basic Search is the default search for the McGill Libraries WorldCat homepage.

• To search an exact phrase, use quotation marks; for example, "social media".
• To narrow a broad topic, use AND between keywords; for example, "social media" AND corruption AND politics .
• To broaden a research topic, use OR to search for terms that denote similar concepts; for example, (Instagram OR TikTok) AND corruption AND politics.
• To retrieve search results for a word with multiple endings, use the root with an asterix; for example, politic* will retrieve research with the following keywords: politics, political, politician, etc.

The Interlibrary Loan service (ILL) permits you to borrow documents that are not part of McGill Libraries' collection. This service is offered exclusively to McGill professors, current students and staff as part of their teaching, learning, research and work activities at McGill University.

Requesting a document via interlibrary loan is done through Sofia, the Libraries' Discovery Tool.
