Please Remember: The tilde '~' is used to toggle concept expansion on or off, based on how it has been globally set. Where Concept Expansion is turned off by default within a database, you expand the meaning of a word by clicking on the concept button, or by preceding a specific key word with a '~' (tilde). Where Concept Expansion is turned on by default, you restrict the meaning of a word by preceding it with a '~' (tilde).

Access to many of our databases is restricted. Please email us for assistance if you are having difficulty accessing something you believe should be available to you.
