Library

Use Keyword or Subject searching to find books by a topic.   To search multiple words not as a phrase do a Keyword search and use Boolean Operations - 
         AND to find all of the words in any order
         OR to find any of the words
         AND NOT to exclude one or more words

For example
      Keyword   entrepreneurship and financ*
                        (entrepreneurshjp or family-owned buisness entreprises ) and management

A single * symbol will find any ending up to 5 characters. finance* will retreive finance, financial, financier, financially, etc. 

A full list of search tips is available at the Keyword Searching page.

Suggested subject headings include:

• business planning
• entrepreneurship
• family owned buisness enterprises
• new business enterprises
• small business
