Custom Databases
Search the Professional Groups Database:
The Professional Groups Database lists professional groups such as associations and organizations that are food-related.

An item box may be unchecked by clicking the checkmark in the box once with the mouse pointer. This will remove the checkmark from the box. Conversely, if a box were not checked and you wished to include the item in the search, clicking the empty box once with the mouse pointer would place a checkmark in the box.

Hints
for Successful Searching
Enter
in a search term or phrase and click Submit. A list of matching MSU
keywords or pages will be displayed. For best results, follow these
examples:
To
search for all topics use the "+" symbol. For example, if
searching for articles with both apples and oranges type the following
in the search field:
+apples
+oranges
To
search for a topic minus articles within that topic use the "-"
symbol. For example, if searching for articles about cheese without
listing any articles about cheddar type the following in the search
field:
cheese -cheddar
To
search for a phrase use the quotation marks. For example, if searching
for articles about a tuna fish sandwich type the following in the search
field:
"tuna fish sandwich"
To
search for a topic that may have variance use the "*" symbol
to serve as a wild card. For example, some websites may use different
spellings of the word "color." Type the following in the search
field:
colo*r
This
search will generate articles using the spellings "color"
or "colour"” Also, depending on the placement of the
"*" the wild card can serve as a multi-character placeholder.
For example, if searching for articles containing the word color that
may have differing ends type the following in the search field:
color*
This
search will generate articles containing the words "colors"
and "colorful."
