Main Entry: In general, main entries consist of names of artists or architects (in inverted order, e.g., WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd) and names of cities in the case of monuments and some buildings and manuscripts. This field is a string search. In other words, realize that entering rome will retrieve "Gerome." To search for Rome enter rome NOT gerome or ^rome.

Title: For paintings and images, enter the title of the work in this field. For architecture, enter the name of the building, room, or a more specific location. This field is a string search. In other words, realize that entering monk will retrieve "monkey." To search for monk enter monk NOT monkey.

Museum Location: Name of city or museum (or church or other buildings) where work of art is located. Do not use for works of architecture or manuscripts, in which case the name of the city should be entered under Main Entry.

Accession Number: The accession number is the unique six digit number by which a slide is tracked. This field requires an exact match.

Course Number: Enter the course number to find slides for a particular course (e.g., Nelson 211). This field is a string search.
