How to perform a search of all resouces, except 'X'

So often I often perform searches across on my resources for certain terms, such as 'Suicide' .

The problem is, I have a particular resource (Religious and Theological Abstracts) which lists articles (that vast majority of which I don't have) and dominates the search results. It's annoying.

so is there any commands I can type to search all references, but exclude a certain work, for example 'Suicide <Exclude: RTA>' or something to that effect?

Thanks in advance.

Someone else may have a better solution, but the only way I can think of to do this is with a collection.

Create a collection using

* ANDNOT title:Religious and Theological Abstracts

or you can use just the * and manually drag any resources into the Minus these Resources section of the collection screen

I think, the rule must be * ANDNOT title:"Religious and Theological Abstracts" (i.e. put the multi-word title in quotes, otherwise the parser will treat the spaces in the title as ANDs)

You're right Mick. I forgot to add the quotes

If you do the Search regularly, a Collection is the best way. Sometimes it is easier to type hyphens where quotes are required e.g.

* ANDNOT title:Religious-and-Theological-Abstracts

instead of

* ANDNOT title:"Religious and Theological Abstracts"

And if you want to use shorthand:

* -title:"Religious and Theological Abstracts"

where there is no space after the minus sign.

* ANDNOT title:Religious-and-Theological-Abstracts

I never knew about this alternative
