Searching Journals by Phrase

I have received several e-mails recently asking various questions about the Theological Journal Library (TJL). So today I’ll show you how to search them for a phrase.

Phrase Search

I don’t encourage you to do simple word searches in journals because you’ll receive a large number of results that are difficult to go through. Phrase searches, however, may prove to be very helpful:

  • Open the Basic Search dialog from the Search menu
  • Set the In list to desired journals
  • Type your desired phrase in the Search box and make sure to enclose it within the double quotation marks like: “replacement theology” or “open theism”
  • Click Search

This article did not help. When I do a search the "in" box allows only for "open resources," "all known resources" and a third option. NOne of these are journal searches.

Ah!!! at last I found what I was looking for. Somtimes it takes so much effort to find even tiny useful piece of information.
Nice post. Thanks
