A search form will load. Enter your search terms. You should select keywords that describe significant elements of your topic. In the example illustrated below, I am interested in any international agreements that govern space travel, so I am using space exploration as my search phrase.

Select a source from the drop-down list. In the example illustrated below, I selected International Legal Materials because it contains the full text of documents from international organizations. If you want to know more about a source, click on the specific source and then click on the Information Button.

Note: the default selected source is EUR-Lex European Union Cases.

You can choose a date range, or use the default which is All Available Dates.
