Full Author Searching (continued)

  • Full author name searching allows for automatic truncation of the forename. If you don’t know the middle initial, enter only the last and first names:
    Example:
    herron bruce [Show Me]

  • Names with multiple middle initials, e.g., Peter F H Schwab, have a space in between the initials. Use any of the following searching formats:
    Examples:
    peter schwab
    peter f schwab
    peter f h schwab
