| Search Help | ||
Basic Searching There are three primary methods of searching for product information on LWW.com. | ||
| 1. Yellow tabs at the top right of the page separate LWW products by media type. Clicking on any one of these tabs will return a page that allows you to search for a product by specialty in that particular media type. | ||
| 2. Browse by specialty on the blue left side navigation menu allows you to search all products in all media types by a particular specialty. | |
| ||
| 3. Keyword searching allows you to search by one or more words or phrases in the author, title, ISSN/ISBN and product description. If you enter more than one keyword the results returned will be those items that contain all the words you entered. | ||
| ||
| Search in title, author, keyword or ISSN/ISBN: | |
| Title |
By selecting the Title option and searching for word(s) your results will be
any publication that contains your search word(s) in the title and sub-title.
E.G. A search for liver will return
100% Transplantation of the Liver |
| Author | Selecting the Author option and searching for a name will help you locate publications that are written and/or contributed by authors with that name. You may search by first name, last name or both. |
| ISSN/ISBN | If you know the ISSN or ISBN of a publication you can search by entering the number and selcting the ISSN/ISBN option.
