Author searches are used to locate works written by an individual, a group of individuals or a larger entity like a corporation, organization or government agency. Most search fields require the last name of an individual be entered first. First names or initials, included after a comma, will narrow the search.

As you can see, the researcher has selected the Author tab and entered the author's name into the search field. Notice also that the results are to be sorted by year, one of the choices provided on the drop-down menu.
