Author Search in Ebsco

You should conduct an author search from the Advanced Search screen. In Ebsco, you must enter the last name first. The author's first name is optional, and you can enter just the first initial of the author's first name if that's all the information you have. Note: Your search results will be the same regardless of whether you capitalize the first letters of the author's name.
