Please keep in mind that many publishers and virtual resources are suspending pay walls during the COVID-19 crisis. Materials that you might not always find available may be accessible for a limited time.
When looking for articles there are many indexes and databases available within the Rutgers University Libraries. The main search engine you will use for finding all materials in the Libraries will be Quicksearch. However for the Arts you may also want to use the database Academic Search Premier.

Put quotes ("") around multiple words to search as a phrase rather than individual words. Good for finding exact quotations.
Example: ["In one of its panels a very singular figure riveted my whole attention."]
2. Use a star (*) for wildcard searching, which finds multiple endings of a single word.
Example: [paint*] finds paint, paints, painter, painting, etc.
3. Use minus sign (-) to eliminate word or term from search.
Example: [jaguar speed -car] finds information on the animal
4. Add the term "site:" to limit searching to a single website or domain.
Example1 : [futurism site:metmuseum.org] searches only the Met's website
Example 2: [futurism site:.edu] searches only university websites
