  2. (Be sure to type the address exactly the way you see it, including any uppercase letters and punctuation).
     
  3. Type in keyword(s). (If your keyword has two parts such as: "Edgar Degas", be sure to put quotes around it so that the search engine only finds the Internet sites on Edgar Degas as opposed to all of the sites containing the word Edgar plus all of the sites containing the word Degas.
     

  4. If you would like to search for something specific about Edgar Degas, try a combined keyword search by adding a comma followed by a space and your other search term. For instance; if I wanted to find out about the impressionist paintings of Edgar Degas,  I would enter the following:

Works Cited (Bibliography) page.  Use the Works Cited Guide to access MLA format.
