General Search Help Keyword Search : allows you to locate words in advertising headlines or to locate ads by company, product, date, etc. (see pull down menu under In: ). After entering the words you would like to search for, you can limit your search to a particular subject area by selecting it from the pull down menu. By accepting the default "Everything in Emergence of Advertising in America" you may search for keywords across all databases and in the transcribed text of the Advertising Cookbooks and Early Advertising Publications categories. Illustration & Special Features Search: pre-set searches are available that will help you to find ads containing specific types of illustration (including minorities, children, sports, etc.) or specialized advertising devices, such as coupons, that may be of particular interest. Just select the topic and click "Search". See the Example Searches provided below. With the General Search, the two areas (Keyword and Illustrations) can not be combined. To limit the search to one of the eleven EAA categories, please see the list of Complex Searches above, or go to the EAA Category Descriptions page. For information on the items in the pull-down menus, see the Database Terms and Descriptions page. Example Searches |
