Tips and Tricks
- If you want to download an issue, you will need to create an account on the site. Anyone can create an account.
- Any typed front is made searchable through Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The best way to make use of OCR is to search shorter phrases or single, unique words.
- If you are searching in the Makio (yearbook), it is most helpful to search by last name and then used the advanced search to narrow down the years. Many pages only list students by their last name.
- If you are searching The Lantern, Alumni magazine or Our Choking Times, it is most helpful to use Boolean searching for results. Here are some examples of the formatting: “woody” AND “football”; “woody” NOT “football”
As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
