Guides: EDKP 446 Physical Activity and Ageing: Finding Information

Further to Quebec government and university directives, McGill campuses are currently closed. As a result, all library branches are closed until further notice. Library staff will continue to provide virtual reference during service hours. I will also be available via email and virtual consultation. For more information about the closure, please visit our COVID -19 | Library Closure & Service Disruptions FAQ.

Search Tips

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

To retrieve search results for a word with multiple endings, use the root with an asterix; for example, vote* will retrieve research related to vote, votes, and voting.
To search an exact phrase, use quotation marks; for example, "liberal party of canada".
To narrow a broad topic, use AND between keywords; for example, "elections" AND Canada.
To broaden a research topic, use OR to search for terms that denote similar concepts; for example, (voting OR elections AND Canada).
