- Search terms are case-insensitive
- Common words are ignored
- By default only articles containing all terms in the query are returned (i.e., AND is implied)
- Combine multiple words with OR to find articles containing either term; e.g., education OR research
- Use parentheses to create more complex queries; e.g., archive ((journal OR conference) NOT theses)
- Search for an exact phrase by putting it in quotes; e.g., "open access publishing"
- Exclude a word by prefixing it with - or NOT; e.g. online -politics or online NOT politics
- Use * in a term as a wildcard to match any sequence of characters; e.g., soci* morality would match documents containing "sociological" or "societal"

Launching a new eJournal has required extensive work. Without the participation of a number of friends and colleagues, this issue would not have gone to press. We owe a debt of gratitude to Andrew Crystall, Jason Nolan, Richard Pope, and Mark Federman, who were involved in the early days of conceptualizing the journal. Carolyn Guertin was a driving force in the founding of MediaTropes, laid the early ground by assisting with the establishment of the advisory board, and provided assistance with proofreading. We thank Agnes Kruchio, who consulted at meetings since the journal's inception and also provided proofreading assistance. David Eaton Gillis created the journal design; we intend to work with the OJS software to realize his design. Our thanks as well to Erinn Brush, who translated the design to OJS specifications.
