Wiley Online offers a basic/quick search option at the top of the homepage.

Select keywords and phrases to describe what you want to search (e.g. television drama and britain). Enter these in the search box provided and click on the magnifying glass icon to search.

Use the filters on the left side of the search results page to refine your search by publication type, publication date, subjects or publication.

Take advantage of the advanced search option to add in extra search terms, narrow results down and get more useful results by using:

• Phrase search - include the terms in quotation marks to ensure that they appear together (e.g. "television drama"). You can also perform an exact author search by enclosing the name (first and/or last) of the author in quotation marks.
• Boolean search:
  • AND narrows results. All connected terms must be included in the results (e.g. television AND drama).
  • OR broadens results. Either connected term can be included in the results (e.g. "television drama" OR  "tv drama").
  • NOT narrows results. The second term must be excluded from the results (e.g. "television drama" NOT "true crime").
• Truncation symbol * to find variations of word endings (e.g. leaders* will find leaders and leadership).
• Wildcard symbol - use a question mark (?) in a search term to represent a single character (wom?n finds women or woman).

The Advanced Search option also allows you to select the fields that you wish to search, such as Anywhere (including full text) or Abstract, Title, Author, Keywords or Funding Agency.

You can add extra search boxes by clicking the + sign.

The Library does not subscribe to all of the journals and eBooks published by Wiley Online.

If the article is unavailable through our subscription, there is a chance for a free copy on the internet provided under an open access arrangement. Use Google Scholar to check. Type in one author's surname and add the title of the article in quotation marks (to look for the words in the same order). If the article is freely available, you will see a PDF or HTML notation to the right of the citation.

You may also be able to get the article by requesting an interlibrary loan (ILL).
