Finding Information
The Making of Modern Law’s easy-to-use interface and full-text searching capabilities allow users to quickly search through 1.5 million pages of text and thousands of documents to conduct precise research. Four search paths have been designed to facilitate this research.
BASIC SEARCH
The Basic Search allows users to search on specific words occurring within the full text of works, or on several key fields of data, including metadata incorporated from bibliographic MARC records. You may also choose to limit your search to either British or American legal treatises, by topic, and/or to works published in a particular year or range of years.
ADVANCED SEARCH
Conduct an Advanced Search using a variety of criteria to retrieve very specific results. Search on a word or words occurring within key fields (keyword, subject, author, title, person as subject, geographic subject, front matter, main text, indexes, publisher, place of publication) as well as the full text of works. Limit your search on the values of several fields of information, including year of publication, body of law, topic, language, number of pages, illustrated works, Gale document number and MARC record number.
BROWSE AUTHORS
