Example:  Searching just MOTION will bring up all entries that contain MOTION.  

Searching MOTION and DANCE will bring up only those entries on MOTION that deal with DANCE.  

If you search MOTION and DANCE and HUMAN RIGHTS, the results will bring up only those entries that deal with all three variables--MOTION and DANCE and HUMAN RIGHTS.

•AN EXAMPLE OF A TITLE WHERE ALL THREE VARIABLES ARE PRESENT:

Dance, Human Rights, and Social Justice: Dignity in Motion
